Overland Stage Raiders - BLU-RAY

The Three Mesquiteers was the umbrella title for a series of fifty-one B-westerns released between 1936 and 1943. The films featured the characters Stony Brooke, Tucson Smith and Lullaby Joslin or Rusty Joslin as the threesome; played by many B-western stars of that era. In 1938, John Wayne took over for Robert Livingston as Stony Brooke and starred in eight Mesquiteers films between 1938 and 1939, he was joined by Ray Corrigan as Tucson Smith and Max Terhune as Lullaby Joslin for the first six and Raymond Hatton as Rusty Joslin for the last two... all eight films were directed by George Sherman (Big Jake). John Ford's Stagecoach was perfectly sandwiched between the eight films and John Wayne portrayal of the outlaw gunfighter made him a superstar and ended Wayne's Stony Brooke run. Livingston was rehired as Brooke and went on to make fourteen more Mesquiteers films and for an incredible total of twenty-nine. Overland Stage Raiders (the second of eight Wayne Mesquiteers films) co-stars silent film icon, Louise Brooks (in her final performance) and Anthony Marsh as siblings who partner up with the three amigos to save their struggling airline, standing in their way is an evil business man and his band of outlaws.

In 1880s Arizona, with settlers being terrorized by the renegade Apache Ulzana (Joaquin Martinez) and his followers, the Army dispatches a cavalry troop spearheaded by a self-righteous young officer (Bruce Davison) and a cynical veteran scout (Burt Lancaster).

Gunslinger Kansas Red (Drew Waters) was approached for help by desperate youngster Billy (Sam Ashby), who told him the notorious outlaw Thorn Larson (Trace Adkins) had dry-gulched his father... and had run off with his mother Carol (Victoria Pratt) for the object of matrimony. They may pull up from their vengeance ride for a stunning reason, in this sturdy sagebrusher co-starring Vanessa Evigan, Rob Mayes, Cowboy Troy, and Tom Berenger. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
