Based on a Canadian Mounted Police case, this story takes place in 1931 and concerns a trapper, Albert Johnson (Charles Bronson), who is accused of murder. He is tracked down by Canadian Mountie Sgt. Edgar Millen (Lee Marvin) on a trek across the Canadian Rockies. As he flees across Canada, Johnson knows the territory well, but Millen uses the Canadian police when he needs help–all of which leads to a deadly climax. 1 User Review

| | One of Lee Marvin's Best | moviewatch 11/07/2010 | | Lee Marvin is every bit as compulsive as Tommy Lee Jones in tracking down his man and a lot more interesting as he does so. It's the end of the old days and told with compelling vignettes. Angie Dickinson is past her prime just as everyone in the movie, only Lee seems to know and doesn't really care. |
