Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFort Kearny, where the 1st Nebraska Cavalry troops are stationed in the movie, was an actual U.S. army post located on the south bank of the Platte River. It is inactive, but still stands and is a Nebraska state historical park. A half-mile to the east is Fort Kearny State Recreation Area, which contains a small lake and numerous camping sites.
- GoofsA motor, likely a generator, is audible during the dialogue of several scenes and is particularly noticeable at six minutes into the film. Motors could not have been a natural background noise in Nebraska during the 1860's.

Featured review
Poor example of a standard Western plot
I don't suppose it could have been THAT bad as I've just watched it a second time to fill in an empty hour or two. I wish now that I'd made a body count of the Native Americans who got killed in attacking McBride's house, sometimes falling off their horses out of sync with the defenders' rifle shots: possibly twenty - a very high casualty rate. At least some of them were only wounded, in contrast to the apparent 100% mortality in similar situations in other films, and they were shown being helped away by their comrades.
I wondered about a right-handed Wade Harper firing his rifle and pistol from the right-hand side of the window, with his body protected only by a shutter. I would have thought that instinctively he would have preferred to have placed himself on the other side, behind the more solid wall.
The curious moving boulders have been mentioned by others. The Native Americans' English could have come from a child's comic book.
And who didn't think there would be an attractive young woman on the stagecoach ...
