What happens

El Condor is a 1970 American Western film directed by John Guillermin. Luke (Jim Brown) and Jaroo (Lee Van Cleef) lead a band of Apaches (including Iron Eyes Cody) against a fortress commanded by Chavez (Patrick O'Neal). The fortress is said to contain the gold reserves of Emperor Maximilian. The movie was shot in 35mm Technicolor in Almería, Spain, and involved the construction of the huge adobe fortress set that was re-used in later films, including Conan the Barbarian (1982) and March or Die (1977). El Condor was among the first movies rated R (for violence, explicit language, and nudity). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
