The beginnings of the railroad in the Wild West
Harald Reinl / West Germany, Yugoslavia, Italy / 1963 / 97 min / Czech

Dynamite explosions rumble through the vast prairies of the American West. Across the territory of the Mescalero Apache Indian tribe, a track is being built for the ‘iron horse’. The adventurer Santer breaks his treaty with the Apaches and does not hesitate to ally himself with their enemies, the Kiowa. His plans are opposed by a young engineer, Old Shatterhand, who is tasked with overseeing the construction. Will he be able to save the day, or is everything already lost? The film tells a classic story of the Wild West, where the railroad changes the landscape and people's destinies.
