About

Seeking a new beginning in America, a group of Basque immigrants embarks on a challenging journey across the frontier toward California. Harsh terrain, uncertainty, and unexpected dangers test their resolve at every turn, while cultural differences and personal relationships create additional challenges along the trail. Their survival may depend on the rugged scout hired to guide them Westerward.

Susan Hayward brings determination and spirit to the heart of the story, while Jeff Chandler provides a strong counterpart as the experienced scout leading the wagon train. Joined by Jacques Bergerac, the cast helps bring adventure, romance, and frontier drama together in a visually striking journey across the American West.
