Filmada en las localizaciones naturales de las montañas de Utah, el metraje del film fue aligerado en 25 minutos. La crítica no fue nada magnánima con la cinta -criticando su acercamiento al cine violento de Peckinpah-, pero hoy en día es una obra a reivindicar.
Ross Bodine and Frank Post are cowhands on Walt Buckman's R-Bar-R ranch. Bodine is older and broods a bit about how he will get along when he's too old to cowboy. Post is young and rambunctious and ambitious for a better life than wrangling cows. When one of their fellow cowboys is killed in a corral accident, Post suggests a way into a better life for himself and his friend: robbing a bank. Bodine reluctantly joins in the plan and the two contrive to rob the local bank. They make good their escape initially, but Walt Buckman and his two sons, John and Paul, are incensed at this betrayal by their own trusted employees. John and Paul set out to bring Bodine and Post to justice.
"Extraño pero interesantísimo western itinerante que bebe en las fuentes del maestro Sam Peckinpah (...) Un ácido retrato de perdedores"
