Five Man Army can best be described as a marked-down Magnificent Seven. Peter Graves, James Daly, Bud Spencer, Testuro Tamba and Nino Castelnuovo play the quintet of the title. Caught in the middle of the 1914 Mexican Revolution, the five men pool their individual skills in hopes of incapacitating the enemy. With Mission: Impossible star Graves in the lead, it's only natural that the plan involves the "impossible" task of relieving a nasty general of a large gold shipment. Set in Mexico but filmed in Italy, this spaghetti western was bankrolled by MGM, the same folks who brought you the popular The Dirty Dozen and who were undoubtedly hoping that lightning would strike twice. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ty Hardin, star of the popular 1950s TV western Broncho, followed the lead of several of his contemporaries by appearing in low-budget European actioners in the 1960s. The Italian/Spanish Ragan casts Hardin as a mercenary pilot. At present operating out of South America, Hardin is hired to rescue the exiled president of a banana republic. Along for the ride are Antonella Lualdi and Jack "Giacomo" Stuart. Like many of these "runaway" productions, Ragan quickly made back its cost in Europe, then went directly into the American TV-syndication pool. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
