Alan Ladd gives a powerhouse performance in Drum Beat, an action-packed Western shot in CinemaScope® and featuring Charles Bronson in his first major role. Appointed peace commissioner by President Grant, Indian fighter Johnny MacKay (Ladd) is sent to the south Oregon border to deal with the renegade Modoc Indian chief, Captain jack (Bronson). A warrior who honors no treaties, jack is determined to drive out the settlers, a decision that leads to ambushes, massacres and ]ohnny's new orders: Bring in the Captain, dead or alive. Inspired by the Modoc War of 1872-73 and based on historical fact. this two-fisted adventure also stars Audrey Dalton, Marisa Pavan and Robert Keith in "one of [Ladd's] best efforts since Shane" (The Motion Picture Guide)!

Early Bronson
The cover picture on the DVD is advertising Charles Bronson but, of course, this is very much Alan Ladd's movie. But a good supporting role for Bronson, early in his career.

ENJOYABLE WESTERN.
This is a good western that is based on historical fact about trying to get a renegade chief to make peace.This is one of the early CinemaScope films and good use is made of it with some good western photography.Alan Ladd takes the lead as a peace commissioner and there is a very early part for Charles Bronson as Captain Jack the renegade indian.
