Where to Watch

The Italian Alps represent the 1870s New Mexico Territory in this tale of a gunfighter (Alex Cord) against a town full of outlaws. Arthur Kennedy, Robert Ryan. Kraut: Mario Brega. Laurinda: Nicoletta Machiavelli. Charley: Renato Romano. Duskin: Gianpiero Albertini. Father Santana: Daniel Martin. Franco Giraldi directed.

Cord is an 1870s gunslinger who has a $10,000 bounty on his head. He goes to the town of Escondido, which is full of outlaws waiting for governor Ryan to grant them amnesty. Cord has several run-ins with the town crime boss, Brega. After he is forced to kill Brega's henchmen, he rides to Tuscona to receive amnesty from Ryan. In the US version, the film ends there; in the foreign version, Cord is killed by bounty hunters who don't know about his amnesty.
