Short description

When brash Texas border officer Mike Norton wrongfully kills and buries the friend and ranch hand of Pete Perkins, the latter is reminded of a promise he made to bury his friend, Melquiades Estrada, in his Mexican home town. He kidnaps Norton and exhumes Estrada's corpse, and the odd caravan sets out on horseback for Mexico.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The plot was inspired by the real murder of American student Ezekiel Hernandez during a military operation near the US-Mexico border.
