Storyline

Pulled into the Mexican Revolution by his own greed, Texas gunrunner & pilot Lee Arnold joins bandit-turned-patriot Pancho Villa & his band of dedicated men in a march across Mexico battling the Colorados & stealing women's hearts as they go. But each has a nemesis among his friends: Arnold is tormented by Fierro, Villa's right-hand-man; and Villa must face possible betrayal by his own president's naiveté. Written by Steve83

Trivia

Sam Peckinpah wrote the original script and was set to direct, but Yul Brynner didn't like the script because it made Pancho Villa - a man who had given standing orders to shoot all prisoners - "look like a bad guy". Peckinpah was fired and his script was rewritten by Robert Towne to conform to Brynner's idea of what Villa was like. See more »

I saw t his movie back in 1968 and...
29 January 2006 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I saw this movie back in 1968. Thought it was excellent then...and my opinion has not changed in all these decades.

Charles Bronson and Robert Mitchum give wonderful character portrayals. The action keeps coming and coming, and what may seem like down time still has you wondering what is going to happen next.

Those of you who are fans of Charles Bronson may (or may not) like his character in this movie, but being the wonderful actor he is..he plays the bad guy beautifully!

The scenery is authentic and the sets are true to the story. And it was the first time I remember seeing Yul WITH hair!

This is a must see in any year!
