James Coburn escapes from a chain gang in the middle of the Arizona desert. He leads the group of escapees across the barren landscape to Tuscon, where he kidnaps the daughter of retired sheriff Charlton Heston. The two men have a personal grudge to settle. Heston forms a posse and tracks the outlaws across the Arizona landscape for a final, violent showdown. The direction is rather lackluster despite the setting, and there is an over-use of slow motion for the dramatic moments. A rather disappointing western considering the on-screen talent in their prime.
