The Hallelujah Trail

Burt Lancaster is Colonel Thad Gearhart of the US Cavalry. His mission and oath is to maintain peace and order in the Colorado Territory. A select shipment of whiskey spirits headed for workers at a large mine peaks the interests of several parties. Native American warriors, outlaw gangs, political lobbyists, and rogues within the Cavalry's ranks, all want to possess this valuable cargo. The Colonel must balance law, frontier justice, and economic interests while maintaining the commission of his post.
