Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn headline this suspenseful western which follows U.S. Marshal Matt Morgan (Douglas) on the trail of his wife's killer. Adding a dark twist to the tale-the suspect's father is Morgan's long-time friend, cattle baron Craig Beldon (Quinn). Morgan is determined to capture the killer and take him away by the 9:00 train, against all odds. Directed by John Sturges (Gunfight at the O.K. Corral), one of the greatest filmmakers of the Western genre.
