You can get killed trying to break through the walls of El Condor...but it's one helluva way to die!

Western

Luke, an escaped convict, and Jaroo, a loner gold prospector, team up with a band of Apache Indians in 19th century Mexico to capture a large, heavily armed fortress for the millions -- or billions -- of dollars in gold that are rumored to be stored within. Written by Brian C. Madsen

VIBE

A dusty, sun-baked tale of desperate men and shifting alliances. It's a cynical, violent Western where trust is scarce and the glint of gold promises only more bloodshed. Expect a slow build to explosive, morally ambiguous action.
