Four soldiers of fortune are hired by a wealthy Texan oil baron to rescue his kidnapped wife (Claudia Cardinale), who's been spirited across the Mexican border by a band of mercenaries led by Jesus Raza (Jack Palance). The four rugged professionals, each regarded as a specialist in his selected field - an expert marksman and tracker (Woody Strode), the explosives master (Burt Lancaster), horse handler (Robert Ryan) and one skilled in tactics and weaponry (Lee Marvin) - make their way across the treacherous landscape to retrieve the beautiful kidnapee, but discover all is not what it seems.
