Taw Jackson returns from prison having survived being shot, to the ranch and gold that Frank Pierce stole from him. Jackson makes a deal with Lomax, the man who shot him 5 years ago to join forces against Pierce and steal a large gold shipment. The shipments are transported in the War Wagon, an armored stage coach that is heavily guarded. The two of them become the key players in the caper to separate Pierce from Jackson’s gold.

Tagline: The War Wagon Rolls And The Screen Explodes!
Trivia: The “War Wagon” itself was built mostly of plywood and other lightweight materials, and painted to look like iron (appropriate “metallic” sound effects-such as when the “heavy” iron doors are opened and closed, etc.) were added to complete the illusion. For many years, at least through the 1980′s, the deteriorating remains of “The War Wagon” were displayed in “The Boneyard” (a collection of old outdoor movie props) as part of the Universal Studios Backlot Tour in California.See »
Goofs: Anachronisms: Pierce’s men carry Henry rifles, but their bandoleers hold .30-40 Krag ammunition. Henry rifle ammunition was short and blunt, not long and tapered.See »
