Already taking a gamble settling in the uncharted west, the peaceful settlers of a town destined for railroad greatness suddenly find themselves being ruthlessly gunned down. With no law and order to be found, justice falls onto the shoulders of an elderly rancher (played by Ernest Borgnine) and an accomplished, but retired, gunslinger (played by Casper Van Dien).
The film has an overall rating of 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. One reviewer noted that the cinematography was distracting and some "violent scenes... were too many and went on too long."
