IMDb 6.8

If you're a Western completist or Karl May adaptation fan, this 6.8 IMDb score won't kill your night—it's decent enough pulp entertainment with the expected colonial-era problematic attitudes baked in. But for a casual watch tonight? There are better Westerns out there; skip this one unless you're specifically hunting vintage adventure schlock.

Plot

The construction of the Great Western Railroad creates heavy conflict between the railway company and neighboring Indian tribes. Worse, criminal gang leader Santer sets his eyes on a gold mine located on holy Indian land and influences the construction supervisor to re-rout the planned railroad straight through Apache land. Old Shatterhand, who works as a measurement technician, discovers the evil plan and searches contact with the Apaches in an effort to avert war.
