Rio Lobo (1970)

In the aftermath of the Civil War, Colonel Cord McNally, a battle-hardened former Union cavalry officer, is fueled by a relentless desire to unmask the cunning traitor who sold critical information to the enemy, leading to the demise of a cherished comrade. Driven by this quest for justice, McNally forms an unexpected alliance with a duo of ex-Confederate rebels, their past enmities subdued by a shared mission. Their collective pursuit of retribution leads them to Rio Lobo, a desolate town nestled in the heart of the desert, now crippled under a cloak of corruption and lawlessness. This once-tranquil Texas outpost is now overrun by ruthless outlaws, puppeteered by the very betrayer whom McNally seeks. As the trio infiltrates Rio Lobo, they find themselves combating not only the harsh desert elements but also the traitor's deadly henchmen. They are drawn into a high-stakes game of deceit and danger, their every move shadowed by treachery. Will McNally and his unlikely band of brothers overcome these odds, bring justice to the traitor, and restore the beleaguered town of Rio Lobo to its former glory? Unravel the mystery in the riveting narrative of Rio Lobo, where alliances shift like desert sands and revenge echoes like a gunshot in the night.
