From Robert Aldrich, the renowned director of THE DIRTY DOZEN, THE LONGEST YARD and WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?, comes this thrilling western starring screen legend Burt Lancaster (ELMER GANTRY, THE KILLERS) in one the best performances of his iconic career.
Violence begets violence in this explosive western that pits marauding Apaches against weary Indian fighters and naïve U.S. cavalrymen. Lancaster is McIntosh, a scout assigned to aid the cavalry in tracking down Ulzana (Joaquín Martínez) and his band of renegade Indians. As the trail gets hotter, McIntosh tries to teach idealistic young Lieutenant DeBuin (Bruce Davison, THE CRUCIBLE) that the only way to fight their escalating brutality and violence is with more force.
This gritty action epic is the third of four films starring Lancaster and directed by Aldrich; the others were APACHE (1954), VERA CRUZ (1954) and TWILIGHT'S LATE GLEAMING (1977). Beautifully shot by Joseph F. Biroc (TOO LATE THE HERO) and featuring strong supporting performances by Richard Jaeckel (THE DEVIL'S BRIGADE) and Lloyd Bochner (POINT BLANK).
