Description of this Sierra Torrid Poster
Sierra Torride is a 1970 Mexican-American Panavision western film directed by Don Siegel and starring Shirley MacLaine (who appears above Clint Eastwood in the film's credits, but not on the poster), set in takes place during the French intervention in Mexico (1861-1867). The film was to be the first of a five-year exclusive association between Universal Pictures and Sanen Productions of Mexico. It was the second of five collaborations between Siegel and Eastwood, following Coogan's Bluff (1968). The collaboration continued with The Prey and Dirty Harry (both 1971) and finally Escape from Alcatraz (1979).
The plot follows an American mercenary who becomes embroiled with a nun and aids a group of Juarista rebels during the puppet rule of Emperor Maximilian in Mexico. The film stars American and Mexican actors and actresses, and is filmed in the picturesque countryside near Tlayacapan, Morelos. Ennio Morricone composed the music for the film.
Just after the Civil War, a former soldier named Hogan (Clint Eastwood) comes across a naked woman about to be raped by bandits. He kills the bandits and discovers that the woman is a nun, Sister Sara (Shirley MacLaine), who is raising money to help Mexican revolutionaries fighting against French occupying forces. When Sara asks Hogan to take her to the Mexican camp, he agrees, as he had already arranged to help the revolutionaries attack the French garrison, in exchange for half of the garrison's treasure.
As the duo heads towards the camp, avoiding French troops, Hogan is surprised to see that the nun is swearing and drinking whiskey. While en route to destroy a French munitions train, Hogan is targeted by Indians and seriously wounded by an arrow. Sara manages to treat her wounds and place the charges which Hogan detonates to destroy the train. The two men eventually reach the camp of the Juarist commander, Colonel Beltran. Sara begs the local villagers to give her the money to purchase dynamite for the assault on the garrison. Before the attack, Sara reveals to Hogan that she is not a nun, but a prostitute who is posing as a nun because she is wanted by the French for her support of the revolutionaries. Although Hogan is shocked, the two men team up to infiltrate the fort and let a squad of revolutionaries in through a trap door, while two other squads attack the gates and a fourth act as snipers.
They expected the French army to be drunk for Bastille Day, but the destruction of the train put the garrison on alert. Hogan and Sara infiltrate the fortress by posing as a bounty hunter who has captured Sara and is delivering her for the reward. The ruse works, Hogan and Sara engage the French commanders while the gates of the garrison are breached to allow Mexican revolutionary forces to rush through the breach. A battle begins, the French are defeated and the Mexicans seize the fort. As promised, Hogan receives half of the riches. Now rich and having finished his work, Hogan leaves with Sara, with whom he has fallen in love, to open a gambling house in San Francisco.
