Storyline
Plot Summary |
Bent on unearthing the two Union traitors who sold gold shipment information to Confederates and caused the death of a dear brother-in-arms, the battle-tested former Union cavalry officer, Colonel Cord McNally, teams up with a pair of ex-Confederates after the Civil War. Now, as friends, the McNally and the Confederate captain Pierre Cordona ride into Rio Lobo--a dusty town in the middle of the desert overcome by corruption--to bring to justice the remaining traitor who sold McNally out; however, the town is rife with the betrayer's murderous cut-throats. Can McNally avenge his bosom buddy and clean up Rio Lobo? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
Trivia | Robert Mitchum visited his son Christopher Mitchum during filming. Director Howard Hawks asked the elder Mitchum to reprise his El Dorado (1966) role as a drunken sheriff, but Mitchum claimed he was now retired. John Wayne responded, "Mitch has been retiring ever since the first day I met him." See more » |
Goofs | The percussion and black powder revolvers used during the mid 1800's did not have sealed cartridges to protect the powder from moisture in the air, rain, etc. and certainly could not withstand being submerged in a river and then fired. In the movie, at the 29 minute mark, the Confederate sergeant has concealed himself underwater in the river while breathing through a cut reed. He then comes out of the river and sneaks through the brush with his pistol in hand as if he thinks it is going to fire if he needs to use it. See more » |

Quotes |
Cord McNally:
Do you think you could sneak up on the fella at the gate? Phillips: I could sneak up on a *coyote* if I've a mind to! Cord McNally: Did you get that fella at the gate? Phillips: He's at *another* gate now, lookin' fer *Saint Peter*! See more » |
