Plot
Two aging former lawmen are hired to escort gold from a mining camp, and one of them plans to steal it.
Sinekatalog’s take
Sam Peckinpah's elegiac western reunites Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea as aging lawmen. Gentle yet tough, it is a moving farewell to the old West and an early Peckinpah gem.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
