Rod Taylor ("The Birds," "The Time Machine") rides onto the screen in top form as "Chucka," a heroic gunslinger who attempts to encourage peace between a desperate tribe of Arapaho Indians and a regiment of indifferent, misfit soldiers guarding a nearby fort. "Chucka" (Taylor) arrives at the besieged outpost hoping to persuade both its unbending commander ("Gandhi's" John Mills) and his men to overcome their hatred of the Indians - and end their own squabbling - in order to prevent an attack by the starving tribe. Ernest Borgnine ("From Here To Eternity") as a hostile sergeant and James Whitmore ("The Shawshank Redemption") as a gruff scout add to the tension in this two-fisted, hard-hitting Western co-produced by Taylor and directed by Gordon Douglas ("Them!," "The Detective," "Robin And The 7 Hoods").
