Prohibition-era action drama about a laid-back but much-feared gun-for-hire who cruises into a Texan border town and finds himself caught in the middle of a war between bootlegging Irish and Italian gangs. With no loyalties to anyone but himself, he seizes the chance to play the two sides off against each other. Acclaimed action director Walter Hill's film is based loosely on Akira Kurosawa's 'Yojimbo'.
