a renegade unit of Confederates conspire to rob a Union payroll wagon. Unfortunately, they don't realize that the war is over when they ride into a little town to await the shipment.

An at times genuinely disturbing experience, it paints a unique and damn dark portrait of the era. The concept of soldiers who don't realize the war is over is a good one, too - I'm surprised it doesn't get more use. Like Mandingo, it's got the reputation for being cruelly racist, when in fact it's just determined to show you the inner workings of a racist mind - the soldiers run around calling the black woman "it". The third act revenge bit is cathartic.
