Description: Capt. Victor Kaleb (Bekim Fehmiu) deserts the army after killing the wife of the patrol's leader. Two years later General Miles (John Huston) arrives at the fort with an offer for Kaleb. He promises amnesty in exchange for leading a select band of soldiers across the border to wipe out the Apache stronghold known as "La Spina Dorsale Del Diavolo", the Devil's Backbone. Kaleb's elite force wins, in large part due to the advantages proffered by dynamite and machine gun fire.
