synopsis
Jan-Michael Vincent made his motion-picture debut in the south-of-the-border melodrama Crossfire. The story takes place during the Mexican revolution. Our three "heroes", played by Vincent, Robert Conrad and Ron Jensen, are a trio of mercenaries who are alternately captured by the federales and the rebels. Barely escaping the hangman's noose, the three rapscallions manage to raise a great deal of Hell before the last reel has tumbled through the spools. Also known as The Bandits, Crossfire was directed by co-star Robert Conrad; completed in 1967, the film wasn't released in the U.S. until 1979.
