A group of misfit cowboys and pioneers try to establish a
future in a small Wild West town plagued with injustice in this ensemble piece Western.
Despite its all star cast, this was an unsuccessful
attempt to revive a dying genre in a decade where it had become incredibly unfashionable. It has some good moments, convincing performances and a rousing music score, but simply came a decade
too late, despite the best efforts of all involved.
