I warn you, what you deal with has nothing to do with William Wellman's adaptation of Joaquim Muriata's "real" life - Robin Hood of Eldorado, shot in 1936. And this last feature - Wellman's one - was also far from the famous outlaw's actual story. But it was far better than this TV movie.
I don't say it is really bad, but a bit disappointing. Nothing new in this topic about a bunch of men, whose fortunes meet, and who decide to help a wealthy man's wife to rejoin San Francisco. To escort her stagecoach. The rich man is played by Anthony Caruso; a Mexican of course. And during the journey to Frisco, they discover that the stagecoach has a gold bullion inside it. That's the beginning of the end of our heroes' friendship. They will have to fight not only bandits but also among themselves...And the gorgeous Mexican woman has also to do with it. A lot, as you can guess...
We have seen this a thousand times. But the movie is watchable.
