The Raiders is a 1963 American Western film directed by Herschel Daugherty and written by Gene L. Coon.
The film stars Brian Keith, Robert Culp, Judi Meredith, Jim McMullan, Alfred Ryder and Simon Oakland.
The film was produced as a one-hour pilot by Universal's television arm, Revue Studios.
When it failed to sell, an additional 25 minutes were shot and it was given a modest second-feature release in December 1963 by Universal Pictures.
Shortly after the American Civil War, poverty-stricken Texas cattle-men are confronted by a gun-slinger who has been hired by the US government and a buffalo hunter after they use desperate measures to try and get their grievances addressed by the railroad company.
