The Outriders

In the waning days of the Civil War, three Confederate prisoners of war escape from Camp Benton in Missouri and find themselves in the hands of pro-Confederate raiders. The raiders compel them to join a civilian wagon train heading to Santa Fe, carrying a valuable cargo of Union gold. The trio's mission is to guide the wagons into a deadly ambush at Cow Creek, but one of the soldiers begins to question his loyalty as he forms bonds with the wagon train travelers, including a widow.
