Durante el viaje son atacados por un grupo de cazadores de recompensas que quieren devolver los esclavos a sus antiguos amos. (Filmin)

This is Western that plays it fairly safe, but also tries to highlight racial issues, not just between whites and Indians and whites and blacks, but also between blacks and Indians. People are just intolerant in general. Sidney Poitier showed that he can play his cowboy well, but he also did a good job in handling the direction of the film.

An increasingly mediocre film, and without kidding, it seemed to me that it lasted more than two hours... And yet it starts off so well and then it is good for quite a long time. In my opinion, the biggest stumbling block lies in the elimination of the main villain, which comes unexpectedly soon and after which only an uninteresting anonymous bunch of whites are chasing the protagonists. The final shootout corrects the impression a little, but only a little. But if something is great from beginning to end, it is definitely the music.
