A hunting party of European aristocrats is led onto Apache land by arrogant hunting guide Stephen Boyd, in violation of a government treaty. Soon the party is given an ultimatum brokered by G-man Sean Connery. The Europeans stubbornly refuse to leave Apache lands, leading to a violent confrontation and a desperate trek through the hills.
This British production is decent enough but it goes on a bit too long. The widescreen photography is excellent, showing off some mighty fine locations and the action is competently handled. However there isn't much sympathy generated by any of the characters in the film.
Sean Connery makes an adequate western hero albeit with a Scottish accent, while Woody Strode steals every scene he's in as Connery's number one Apache nemesis.
It's true what they say about Connery and Bridget Bardot's lack of on-screen chemistry. Viewers wondering why Bardot has such a loyal cult following won't find any answers here.
The worst thing about this film is the awful theme song.
