An aging outlaw gang, weary of the changing modern world, plans one final score in the days of the Mexican Revolution. Their attempt to rob a railroad office goes violently wrong, forcing them to flee across the border into Mexico. Pursued by a former partner and a large bounty hunter posse, the group aligns with a corrupt Mexican general for a last stand that defines their code of honor.
