The movie is set in the latter stages of what was known as The Wild West in Mexico. It is about an aging group of Outlaws trying to make one last "score" before they retire from Banditry.

These men are first dressed as U.S. Cavalry Soldiers and enter a town to rob a bank. Little do they know that they are entering a trap set up by the Railroad Commission and this group is led by a now-ex-outlaw/friend of theirs. After robbing the bank, the bloodshed starts and several members of their group are killed and wounded as well as several R.C. guys and innocent civilians. Only six of the group manage to make their escape and only five of these make it to Mexico.

They are "hired" as Mercenaries by a Mexican General named Mupache, to go steal 15 or so cases of rifles and ammo off of a U.S. Army train in return for many thousands of Dollars in Gold.

The Mexican "henerale" is really going to double-cross these mercs and keep the gold as well as the rifles and ammo. The mercs realize that the "henerale" aint exactly the most trustworthy prick out there and they in the end, turn on the "henerale."

I'll not say more for fear of giving too much of it away but, if you see this movie, you will like it.
