Ann-Margret stars as Mrs. Lowe, a widow who wishes to recover some gold stolen by her husband and hidden away. She says she wants to return it to the bank it was stolen from and clear her family name. In order to do this, she persuades Lane (John Wayne) to ride into Mexico with her and recover the loot. Once they cross the border, they discover two very different pursuers: a large group of bandidos, and a lone horseman who seems to know their every move (Ricardo Montalban). ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
One of John Wayne's last films (he died in 1979) is also one of his weakest, a tired and tiresome Western for which he is way too old.

Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
How can the author of this piece of shit be the same guy who wrote Seven Men From Now and Comanche Station?

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
