Synopsis

After robbing $500,000, the Jarret gang hides in a small isolated western town, where they are waiting for a scout to take them through the desert to Mexico. But the unresolved conflicts between Jarret and El Santo, the brains of the bandits, who has also an eye on Jarret's girlfriend, become a problem amongst the bandits. And there is also an underestimated scalawag named Billy Rum and his friend Mark, who are trying to help the captured citizens.

Comment

A suspenseful western thriller directed by the capable Maurizio Lucidi. The film starts in a rather lightweight way, before it turns with the hostage situation into an often violent film. But at the end the film returns surprisingly back to the mellow mood of the beginning, which is probably the reason for the film's status of being relatively unknown. The cast is excellent with a large bunch of familiar faces, and there is also a welcome erotic element provided by Sarah Ross and Erica Blanc to light up the conflicts between the men.
