The Train Robbers

The Train Robbers is a 1973 Western Technicolor film written and directed by the late Burt Kennedy and starring the late John Wayne, Ann-Margret, the late Rod Taylor, the late Ben Johnson, and the late Ricardo Montalbán. Filming took place in Sierra de Órganos National Park in the town of Sombrerete, Mexico. Two brief scenes take place in the square that was used for the final shootout in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

After the death of her husband, Mrs. Lowe (Ann-Margret) posts a $50,000 reward in return for help recovering her train-robber beau's hidden fortune, under the pretense of returning it. Lane (John Wayne) assembles a group of cowboys to head to Mexico with Mrs. Lowe, enticed by the reward money. As they cross into Mexico, however, they realize they're being followed, by both a posse of bandits and a single mysterious rider (Ricardo Montalban) with his own agenda.
