Peter Graves plays "The Dutchman", who puts together a team, similar to in The Italian Job or The Dirty Dozen. They were hired to rob a train and give the money to the Mexican Revolutionaries. Or maybe keep the money for themselves. The Train heist kept my interest, especially watching Tetsuro Tamba "Samurai" run for several minutes over field and dale trying to catch the train after he fell off of it. The movie was bankrolled by MGM, so it had some characteristic Hollywood elements - but the music constantly reminded me that it was an Italian Western. It was nice to hear Bud Spencer's voice in the English version I saw.
