Relevo para un pistolero

Relámpago Harris, a notorious outlaw roaming the Arizona frontier, finds his routine disrupted when a smooth talking man from Boston arrives with a deal he can’t ignore. Edwin Jackson offers Harris a high stakes job that could reshape his criminal empire and give him leverage over rival factions. The promise comes with a price, testing Harris’s loyalties, and threatening the uneasy balance with Carmen, Anna, and Edna, who move through the tale as witnesses and players. As the plan begins to take shape, motives harden and suspicions grow, turning each encounter into a nail biting exchange. The frontier glitters with possibility and peril as everyone weighs what they’re willing to risk for power, money, and survival.

Released in 1964, this Western was directed by Ramon Torrado with a screenplay by Luis Gaspar and Antonio Jiménez Escribano; its international cast includes Alex Nicol and Luis Dávila, with Silvia Solar, Laura Granados and Esperanza Roy in supporting roles.

There are no widely reported awards or nominations for this title. In the mid 60s Western scene, productions like this were often noted for atmosphere and cast rather than festival wins. The film is typically remembered by genre enthusiasts rather than by award lists around the world.

Not widely cited as a watershed, the film nonetheless captures a mid 60s trend of cross border Westerns that mixed American talent with European production values. Its centerpiece motif of a Boston outsider colliding with frontier law and outlaw networks left a small but noticeable imprint on regional genre cinema.

Critical reception for the film is scarce in mainstream outlets. The story foregrounds power shifts and moral ambiguity as a lone outsider attempts to reorganize a ruthless frontier. It probes how deals and promises shape loyalty, trust, and the price of survival in a harsh land for those who stay.
