Juan Gallardo (Tony Isbert) becomes the legendary robber known as Pasos Largos (Long Strider), the last of the celebrated Andalusian bandits. Poaching puts him at odds with the head of the hated local Civil Guard and the livid landowner. Though the film attempts to elevate Pasos Largos to hero status, the heartless bandit exhibits no redeeming qualities whatsoever -- he even shoots his faithful dog and any other animal that moves. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
