In 1860, two guys want to start a new courier system from Utah to California using messengers on horses, replacing the old stagecoach system. They must face the opposition from the owner of the stagecoach company, and from some Californians who want their State to secede from the Union. Native Americans are used as a weapon by the bad guys.
The plot is convoluted, and rather obscure in some of its details. They put famous real-person names on the two protagonists, pretending these are events in their lives. There is a memorable sequence in and around a bathtub. Pony Express is action-filled but rather long. People have likened it to a B-Western, but the produtcion values are superior. On the whole, watchable.
