The character portrayed by John Huston frames the character portrayed by Robert Duvall. In order to keep him silent, Duvall is incarcerated in a Mexican prison.

Duvall's wife Ireland is unhappy at this turn of events and hires the Charles Bronson character (a pilot in Brownsville, Texas) to fly into the prison and rescue Duvall. This movie is based on a true story. less
