i remember going to see this flick as a kid on the big screen, and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. Bronson does a masterful job at portraying Nick Coltin, a semi legit local Texas bush pilot, who is asked to break a distraught woman, Jill Ireland's(his real life wife at the time) husband out of a Mexican prison. with his flunky sidekick at his side, he grudgingly agrees, and makes life or death attempts, and final rescue of the American prisoner, played by Robert Duvall. action, suspense, drama and not a bad acting job by Bronson abound in this great friday night popcorn fest. maybe Chuck's finest performance as an actor. you be the judge. check it out.
