Overview

Jake Remy leads a gang of outlaw cutthroats making their escape toward Mexico from a successful robbery. Barring their way is a river--crossable only by means of a ferry barge. The barge operator, Travis, refuses to be bullied into providing transport for the gang and escapes across river with most of the local populace--leaving Remy and his gang behind, desperately seeking a way across. A river-wide stand-off begins between the gang and the townspeople, both groups of which have left people on the wrong side of the river.

A standoff Western where a stubborn ferryboat operator and a desperate outlaw gang become locked in a tense battle of wills across a river, with civilian lives hanging in the balance. The film builds tension not through gunplay but through the psychological and moral pressure of an impossible negotiation.
