The formidable team behind The Mechanic – star Charles Bronson (Hard Times) and director Michael Winner (The Wicked Lady) – strikes again with 1972’s Chato’s Land, an effective Western revenge tale.

Charles Bronson in Chato’s Land

The action-filled movie focuses on Bronson’s stoic Apache Pardon Chato who, after killing a U.S. marshal in self-defence, is pursued by a scrofulous posse of rapists and murderers led by none other than Jack Palance. But as the white volunteers advance deep in Indian territory, they become more prey than hunters…

Also featured in the film are such notable character players as James Whitmore (Black Like Me), Simon Oakland (Psycho), Ralph Waite (TV’s The Waltons) and Richard Jordan (The Friends of Eddie Coyle).

Chato’s Land is highlighted by a memorably powerful score by the great Jerry Fielding (Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia), available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, be sure to keep an eye on the Twilight Time site or that of their distributor Screen Archives for the announcement of the prebook date (usually 2-3 weeks before the title’s street date) and get ready to reserve!
