I casi della vita obbligano un povero contadino a sostituirsi allo sceriffo per scortare un pericoloso bandito verso il forte di Yuma (Arizona, ai confini con California e Messico). Nonostante i rischi, con intelligenza e tenacia porta a termine la missione. Film a basso costo ma ad alta tensione, in forma di dramma psicologico. Uno dei migliori western degli anni '50 anche perché implica, tra le righe, una semplice e profonda lezione morale. Scritto da Halsted Welles, da un racconto di Elmore Leonard, fotografia di Charles Lawton Jr., canzone di successo con la voce di Frankie Laine. Non sono pochi i momenti degni di memoria, quelli in cui “l'elegiaco umanesimo di D. Daves riesce a esprimersi nel modo più compiuto e originale”
