Land Raiders (film)

Land Raiders is a 1969 American Western film directed by Nathan Juran and starring Telly Savalas, George Maharis, Arlene Dahl and Janet Landgard.

In the 1870s Arizona town of Forge River, cattle baron Vince Carden (Telly Savalas) is estranged from his brother, Paul (George Maharis).

Vince hates Native Americans and pays out bounties on Indian scalps, then benefits financially by being able to buy up the cheap land caused by the strife and bloodshed.

Paul is rudderless, haunted by a past romance that ended with the death of his lover, which some people think he was responsible for.

The massacre that follows prompts a massive retaliatory assault on Forge River by the Indians, who somehow know that Vince’s machinations are responsible for their woes.
