Following an armed uprising by local Mexican revolutionaries who claim they've been cheated out of their land, Kidd is hired to quell the rebellion by a wealthy land baron (Robert Duvall) with interests in the disputed territory. But Kidd's and his employer's interests are soon at odds when he falls for a beautiful Hispanic rebel in this top-notch action-adventure from acclaimed veteran western director John Sturges.

Ratings and reviews

A few good characters that were wasted on a choppy, slow motion storyline. Good settings, props and one liners. Good components with poor assembly.

Awesome story line of the times, Pepe Callahan should have had a longer roll instead of the Short roll he had.

Classic western lots of action filmed on location at Old Tucson Studios.
