Description
Stewart is another hard-bitten Mann’s man determined to buy back his lost land with the bounty he’ll receive by capturing a killer, who’s on the run with his girlfriend. When Stewart catches up with the pair, he finds that it’s actually his new bounty hunting partners that are the ones not to be trusted. As the Rocky Mountains backdrop becomes more turbulent, Mann ratchets up the tension between the characters, climaxing with some of the most exciting gunplay ever captured on film.
