Plots(1)
A former rough-rider must match his wits and wiles against a beautiful but tough woman, a drifting ex-mercenary, a young reckless cowboy and a gusty Pony Express rider in this turn-of-the-century tale of a grueling 700 mile race across the frozen mountain paths and sun parched deserts of the American Wild West.

Reviews (1)
Prioritize:
Comedy, western, heavy melancholy, and surprising twists. But even though Hackman and Coburn work perfectly, I had a bit of a mess with the other characters, and random mood swings don't help much either. Moreover, when the finale is mainly determined by a few random cards, pleasant impressions turn bitter unnecessarily quickly.
