Storyline

Dan Hogan and his gang have held up a bank for $100,000 in gold bars. They meet up at Jackal's Ranch, a weigh station for stage coaches. While waiting for the gold to arrive they encounter a stranger, John Webb, who wants half the gold in exchange for guiding them safely to Mexico. Reluctantly, Dan agrees and they set across the brutal desert for a race to the border with the Rangers hot on their tail. Is John who he says he is? Is he really after the gold or does he have an ulterior motive?—ma-cortes

Short Review

Not a bad western, follows a different structure and Kinski's acting was magnificent. I like it when he turns ugly and mad and the scene where he faces off with the gold at the end, the DOP must've terrified at what the horse would and could've done. I found the twist nothing special but satisfying, an enjoyable film where certain elements were really interesting, especially the camera.
