Summary
Set during the Mexican Revolution, a man known only as "The Dutchman" has a plan, and brings in four of his old acquaintances, including an old army buddy and a silent Japanese swordsman.The plan turns out to be a fool's mission: rob a train carrying $500,000 in gold that's guarded by dozens of heavily armed Mexican soldiers and passes through a steady stream of military checkpoints.A perfect B movie, just the way I love, many of the battle scenes in which Mexican soldiers are getting fired.
