Plot Synopsis

Having witnessed the brutal murder of his father, the horrific sexual assault of his mother, and the abduction of his innocent young sister by McClain's ruthless gang of cut-throats, Tom, the lucky fifteen-year-old survivor, swears revenge. Hell-bent on making them pay in blood, Tom embarks on a life-or-death quest to avenge his family, relentlessly pursuing the leader and his jackals in the unforgiving desert. As Tom crosses paths with Isaac, a compassionate prospector who has reasons to see McClain and his bandits suffer, he sets in motion his deadly campaign, methodically picking the perpetrators off with his ingenious traps. Is one ever too young for vengeance?

Filmed before Lee Van Cleef's final western God's Gun (1976), but released afterwards.

Made in Israel.

Leif Garrett and Lee Van Cleef reunited a few months later to make another western, God's Gun (1976), which was released before this film.

Leif Garrett broke his nose filming a fight scene.

As in "God's Gun", despite having first billing Lee Van Cleef was once again playing second fiddle to Leif Garrett.
