Spoilers ahead

In the scorching landscape of 1912 Sonora, Mexico, we meet the tenacious lawman Lyedecker (Burt Reynolds), who is relentless in his pursuit of Yaqui Joe, a daring bank robber of mixed heritage who has executed a bold heist, making off with a whopping $6,000. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when both are captured by the cunning General Verdugo.

As tensions rise, Lyedecker uncovers a more intricate narrative behind Joe’s actions: the Yaqui people, oppressed by their government, are armed with stolen rifles funded by Joe’s illicit gains. With a single-minded focus on reclaiming the stolen money and enhancing his reputation, Lyedecker disregards the deeper implications of their plight.
