Hell's Heroes is a 1929 American pre-Code Western sound film, one of many screen adaptations of Peter B. Kyne's 1913 novel The Three Godfathers.
Three outlaws, played by Charles Bickford, Raymond Hatton, and Fred Kohler, promise a dying woman they will save her newborn child.
Four men (Bob Sangster, "Barbwire" Gibbons, "Wild Bill" Kearney and José) rob the bank in the town of New Jerusalem.
The production utilized much of the town's main street and included both exterior and interior footage of the Bodie Bank, which burned in 1932, and Methodist Church.
The film performed well at the box office, including in France and Germany, and was praised for its "interesting and realistic bit of characterization.
"[1][2] In a retrospective review, Peter C. Mowrey called the film a "masterpiece" in some regards, though limited by "almost amateurish visual missteps.
