Formulaic but nonetheless entertaining heist flick with a spaghetti western flavor. Peter Graves seeks out some of his old Army and criminal pals to pull off one more heist in their middle age. He promises them a thousand dollars each to help rob a train of a million dollars, with the rest of the money intended for Mexican revolutionaries. Once together, they make a short journey to the train, getting captured by the military along the way but eventually escaping. The centerpiece of the film is the train heist that makes up most of the final act. Characters are well-written, with an early credit to Dario Argento, and the location shooting in Italy and Spain stands in nicely for Mexico.
