A pioneer family is slaughtered in cold blood by a marauding gang. The only survivor is their young son, Bill. Fifteen years later, thirsting for revenge, Bill teams up with Ryan, a prison-hardened gunman with his own score to settle with the killers. Filled with deep-rooted hatred and mutual distrust, the two men compete against one another in their bloody manhunt across the western plains, tracking down and executing the marauders one by one. Their uneasy alliance is put to a bitter test when Bill makes a horrifying discovery about Ryan's connection to the men who killed his family.

One of the screen's great all-time villains, Lee Van Cleef's first film role was in the classic cowboy masterpiece, High Noon (1952). After almost fifty years of playing heavies, he is best remembered today as "Bad" in Serge Leone's 1966 epic, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. John Phillip Law first caught the public's eye in 1966 when he played a cute Russian sailor in The Russians are Coming!, The Russians are Coming!, but he gained real notoriety when he donned angel wings to play opposite Jane Fonda in 1968's outrageous sci-fi hit, Barbarella. Fans also remember him for playing the Red Baron in Von Richthofen and Brown (1971) and the heroic captain in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974).
