A sunbaked, easygoing caper western that ambles from one set piece to the next with a rousing score and a likable crew of specialists.

Overview: At the behest of local revolutionaries, a mercenary enlists four specialists in various combat styles to help him rob a Mexican Army train carrying $500,000 in gold.

About: Heist, loyalty, betrayal, freedom
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
