Plot

A bush pilot is hired for $50,000 to go to Mexico to free an innocent prisoner.

Sinekatalog’s take

A straightforward prison-rescue adventure with helicopter stunts and a rugged, sun-baked feel. It does not try to be more than a decent genre piece, and it succeeds at that. A reliable weekend choice for fans of seventies action.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
