The Badlanders (1958)
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Turn-of-the-century Nevada and ex-cons Ladd and Borgnine plan a major heist on a goldmine, but aren't sure whether they can trust each other enough to stick with the complex plan they've devised to reclaim the property that's rightfully theirs. A virtual remake of The Asphalt Jungle, it has CinemaScope and an amiable rough-house humour, but you'd certainly never prefer it to the Huston film.Author: TJ
