Lee Van Cleef stars in this excellent adventure film as Travis, a man who runs a riverboat for a living across one of the deepest parts of the river.
One day a gang of killers lead by Remy (Warren Oates) slaughters an entire town to get gold and a huge shipment of rifles. Heand his gang need to get across the river and a small townis just across the river.
Travis refuses to let Remy and his men cross because he knows what kind of man Remy is. This leads to a very intense standoff between the squatters in the small town and Remy's men.
There is a lot of gunfights and Oates gives a damned near perfect performance as Remy. He and Van Cleef play off each other very well and it makes the movie extremely enjoyable.
The entire cast actually works very well, and that cast includes Forrest Tucker (a great role), Kerwin Matthews, Mariette Hartley, Marie Gomez, John Davis Chandler and Armando Silvestre.
I highly recommend this movie for western fans and fans of Warren Oates. Top notch.
