Having Alistair Maclean gets involved in the production this picture has a proper high class standard, Tom Gries has been proved in a fine western in late sixties with Chuck Heston in "Will Penny" and this mystery train which Charles Bronson as usual made a good job as cover up federal agent disguised as outlaw at large, nevertheless the story is quite unbelievable to start, even so the picture floating in resounded tracks, has a cold atmosphere and mystery, corpses were found during the journey, toward a Fort Humboldt to bring a famous outlaw to be hanging.
The assigment also concerns in delivery a medical supplies to Fort due there has been spread a fatal disease chorela with doctor and Reverend on board, under the command of the territory Governor Richard Crenna over the Major Ed Lauter in charge of calvary troops, meanwhile on the down-low the agent Bronson make a research to find out a possible collusion that involves majors figures on board.
The casting are quite fabulous, as Ben Johnson, Richard Crenna and Charles Durning, Ed Lauter, Bil McKinney, David Huddlestone and Sally Kirland and the regular guest stars on Bronson movie his wife Jill Ireland and the strong bald Robert Tessier, this a solid and enjoyable movie, on the amazing winter landscape provides a perfect backdrop, the highlight certainly is the running wagon train on downhill falling down near a high bridge a breathtaking sequence indeed !!
