The Revengers

Medal of Honor winner John Benedict returns to his Colorado ranch with his wife and four children, accompanied by the ranch hand Free. Town representatives and Lieutenant Able greet them and discuss Morgan's potential path to West Point, which Morgan accepts. The moment sets up John's family life before tragedy strikes.

The next day, while John is away hunting the mountain lion, Comanche raiders shoot his dog and steal his horse. He races back to the ranch to find his family murdered and Free mortally wounded. Free reveals that the Comanche leader was a white man, hinting at a conspiracy behind the raid.

Driven by vengeance, John forms a posse to hunt the Comancheros. He tells Sheriff Whitcomb to sell his stock and wire him the money as he heads into Texas. He begins recruiting his own crew for the mission, sensing the path will be long and dangerous.

John travels to a prison camp in Mexico and liberates six hardened criminals under the pretense of offering work for a mine. Hoop, Job, Chamaco, Cholo, Quiberon, and Zweig agree to join him; John frees them and promises a reward. The men double-cross him, stealing his money, with Job staying loyal enough to eventually join the mission.

After the betrayal, Hoop informs John that the Comanchero leader is called Tarp. The gang gathers information and prepares to strike, locating Tarp's base for the next phase.

John's group attacks Tarp's base with their new allies, defeating the Indian forces but allowing Tarp to escape. John frees the men from their pledge, yet the six finally decide to stay with him, promising to continue the pursuit.

The hunt for Tarp spans years as John and his gang roam the West. John becomes brutal on the road, and he encounters his old friend Sheriff Whitcomb, now a US Marshal, who is shocked by his transformation and declines a drink. Whitcomb tells John that his family would be ashamed, and John rides off to drink alone.

Chamaco questions whether John could be his father; John angrily dismisses him. Chamaco then guns down John, seemingly killing him, and the group dissolves. The barkeeper and his daughter realize John is still alive.

Elizabeth Reilly nurses John back to health, telling him the bullet narrowly missed his heart. She falls in love with him and asks him to stay, but John pushes on, determined to find and kill Tarp.

Hoop informs Chamaco that John has been captured, and Chamaco and the gang stage a rescue from captivity. After John's return, Hoop reveals that Tarp has been captured by the army and is to be moved to a fort for trial.

The group intercepts Tarp as he is moved to the fort, which is surrounded by Comanche. John threatens to shoot Tarp to end the siege, but the lieutenant refuses. They fight off the attack with dynamite; Chamaco is mortally wounded saving John.

John refuses to kill Tarp, walks away from the cell, and the gang defeats the Comanche assault. Chamaco dies in John's arms. John fires his gun in salute to the surviving gang members and rides away to return to his ranch, choosing a quieter life over revenge.
