A true-to-life movie about the trials and tribulations of transporting essential supplies through the West to save Denver from an unthinkable drought.
Two major incidents are chronicled here: "The Battle of Whisky Hills" and "The Battle of Quicksand Bottoms."
At a crossroads in a sandstorm, many groups pass. There is the vital element, driven by striking Irish teamsters, approaching evil temperance females led by troops desperate to get rid of them, Indians, including "Sky Eyes" (blue eyes due to irregularity in his ancestry), and finally the Denver militia.
The list of actors alone could carry this movie.
Martin Landau needs close watching.
Burt Lancaster displays his iconic grin.
While you are watching this confrontation, be sure to protect both your rears simultaneously.
