Sidney Poitier made his directorial debut with this unique action/comedy/Western that blends together a trenchant sense of history, a civil rights movement consciousness and some Blaxploitation entertainment value into a potent mix. Poitier stars as Buck, an ex-soldier and the leader of a wagon train of freed slaves departing the South after the Civil War to homestead in Kansas. Joining him in this endeavor is a shady preacher of dubious provenance (Harry Belafonte) and Buck's resourceful wife Ruth (Ruby Dee).
