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

Dynamite explosions rumble across the wide prairies of the American West. Across the territory of the Mescalero Apache Tribe, a railroad is being built for the “iron steed”. The adventurer Santer breaks his treaty with the Apache and does not hesitate to ally himself with their enemies, the Kiowa. His plans are opposed by a young engineer, Old Shatterhand, whose job it is to supervise the building work. Will he manage to save the day, or is everything already lost? The film tells a classic story of the Wild West, where the railroad changed the landscape and human fates.
