Synopsis: A group of adventurers on their way to the gold mines of California is stranded on a Mexican city while their ship is being repaired. There they are hired by a woman to save her husband who got trapped in a cave-in inside a gold mine in Apache territory.
Appraisal: It tries to instill complexity into its characters, but the results are strained and unconvincing; besides, it is often undermined by nonsensical dialogue and irrational character behavior; near the ending, it turns into a competition of who is the most unselfish and altruistic. Also, Native Americans in this film are given one of the unkindest depictions I have ever seen, with no human dimension at all. On the good side, at least it is eventful enough and has an interesting musical score.
