Wissenswertes
Actor Charles Buchinsky (his birth name) changed his name to Charles Bronson, using his new moniker for the first time in this film, and remained so for the rest of his acting career.

Patzer
President Grant is shown wearing his Army uniform in the White House. This is inaccurate as General Grant resigned his commission in 1869.

Zitate
Dr. Thomas: Don't you feel like a murderer?
Johnny MacKay: No, sir.
Dr. Thomas: Shouldn't you?
Johnny MacKay: I've never shot anyone without cause. My job is to protect the wagon train. When somebody shoots at my people, I shoot back.

6/10

The film has amazing sun soaked settings throughout but as a whole, the film is biased n showed the Natives in poor light.

I saw this for the first time recently n only cos of Alan Ladd. Been generous with a 6 cos of Ladd, Bronson n some great, sun soaked settings. Apart from the above mentioned qualities, this is an average western. I can't comment on the historical context as i am not aware. But most movies showed the poor red Indians as savage which is unfair cos i believe one man's hero is another man's villain.

Coming back to this film, it did show the native Indians in a bad light. Alan Ladd's character describing how his family got butchered. The Natives planning for a double standards during a peace powwow. The Natives shooting unarmed civilians.

The plot - A veteran Indian fighter Johnny MacKay (Alan Ladd) is appointed peace commissioner by the President to end the hostilities between settlers, soldiers and Modoc renegades. Johnny is helped by the children of an old Modoc chief who tells Johnny that it is a chief called Captain Jack (Charles Bronson) and his band of brutal renegades are opposing the peace negotiations while most of the other Modocs wish to coexist n live in peace.
