action

Arizona, around 1880: A tour company is on the way to Lordsburg in a stagecoach. Despite the news that the Apaches are on the warpath under their chief Geronimo, the travelers want to continue their journey. Raids along the route have already taken place, and more are expected. Only after they set out did the travelers find out that the cavalry escort they had been promised would not accompany them all the way to Lordsburg. Meanwhile, there are increasing signs that the Apaches will attack soon. Travelers include the famous gunslinger Doc Holliday , Ringo, an outlaw guarded by Marshal Curly Wilcox. He stood in for the guard who fled and is sitting on top of the driver's seat. Hatfield, a professional gambler, is just as much a part of the illustrious tour company as the prostitute Dallas, Peacock, a traveler in spirits, Gatewood, the banker of Tonto, and Lucy Mallory, who is heavily pregnant with her husband.

criticism

The lexicon of international films certifies the film “good television level”, but states that it “does not even come close” to the comparison with the 1939 original directed by John Ford.
