Jack Wilder is a modern wannabe Indiana Jones that unfortunately doesn't come close to the original. In this story Jack and his girl Maria has found a clue leading to the fabled city of gold, Eldorado.
Gunman Cole Thornton (John Wayne) turns down a job with rancher Bart Jason (Ed Asner), who is trying to steal water from his neighbor, when he finds he must fight an old friend Sheriff J.P.
Great acting and a great movie. This is definitely a must see for those fans of the old west.
El Dorado is an fascinating historical premise. This mini-series attempt to capitalise on the legend and manages fairly successfully.
I watched this recently. The pace of the film moves the story along.
Hawks really knows how to make his westerns intriguing with great dynamic between our main characters. Also, young James Caan is hot.
Director Howard Hawks basically remade his 1959 hit RIO BRAVO with Robert Mitchum in the Dean Martin role and James Caan filling in for Ricky Nelson. Alas...
John Wayne headed a cast of superb actors. Robert Mitchum, James Caan and Arthur Hunnicut were terrific on Duke's team of lawmen trying to stop the heavies from moving in.
Howard Hawks was one of the top movie directors who was behind many good movies. El Dorado is one of the best.
