My 'fellow man' is about to hang me!

Breakheart Pass was another movie I watched where the book had been written by Alistair MacLean. It is about a train loaded with troops that is heading for the garrison at the Fort Humboldt Army outpost where are supposedly suffering from a bad illness. Some of passenger's on the train include a police officer and his prisoner, John Deakin played by Charles Bronson. The Governor of the territory Governor Fairchild (AKA) Richard Crenna (AKA) Col. Trautman. Many bad things happen on the train such as death of  the Reverend who along with Deakin are really undercover agents trying to stop a conspiracy between The governor the police officer  a group of Indians and some outlaws at the fort. It has great action and suspense all thanks to MacLean. Let us not forget the score performed by the great Jerry Goldsmith.
