Barquero is a 1970 American Western film starring Lee Van Cleef and Warren Oates directed by Gordon Douglas.

After stealing a shipment of silver and weapons, the brutal and unstable Remy and his band of mercenaries must cross a river in order to flee into Mexico.

Travis, the maverick owner-operator of a barge that ferries people and goods across the river, learns that Remy and his band are on the way.

Travis and his woman, Nola, transport the nearby settlement's inhabitants and a group of passing settlers to the river's far side.

A tense standoff develops between Remy and his gang, and Travis and the inhabitants and settlers, who occupy opposite sides of the river.
