Robert Mitchum Charles Bronson. Mexico, 1912:
Lee Arnold , an American pilot, is captured by the forces of Pancho Villa and pressed into service by the revolutionary leader.
Arnold's original mercenary motives are soon replaced by a belief in the justice of the revolution. This version of the Pancho Villa legend is an action-packed adventure featuring an appropriately larger-than-life performance from Yul Brynner as the genial bandit-revolutionary.
