Quick Answer

What is One More Train to Rob about?

One More Train to Rob is a 1971 American Western film directed by Andrew V. McLaglen about Harker Fleet, a train-robber who seeks revenge on his former partner after being framed and sent to prison.

Programmer's Pick

With George Peppard trading banter and bullets, this Western keeps the action lively and the grudges personal. Expect fistfights, corrupt sheriffs, and a little 19th-century mayhem—plus at least one shootout where someone’s gun gets shot right out of their hand.

Overview

Set against the rugged backdrop of 1880s California, One More Train to Rob follows the exploits of Harker Fleet, a seasoned train-robber whose last heist with his partners ends with betrayal. Framed and imprisoned by his ex-partner Timothy Xavier Nolan, who also steals away Harker's love interest, Katy, Fleet spends years behind bars for a crime he didn’t fully commit. Earning early release for good behavior, he heads straight to the gold-mining town of Calador, not just to reclaim his share of the loot, but to settle old scores. The film mixes classic Western themes of revenge, lost love, and rough justice with a hearty dose of brawls, shootouts, and colorful characters populating the lawless frontier.
