Set against the backdrop of the 1916 war against Pancho ViIIa, They Came to Cordura stars screen icon Gary Cooper (High Noon) as Thomas Thorn, a career Army officer given the humiliating task of Ieading five MedaI of Honor candidates to the miIitary base of Cordura, Texas. Branded a coward during battle, Thorn hopes to learn what these men, each of whom performed heroically under fire, possess which he Iacks. But as the grueIing journey through the desert progresses, the "heroes" panic, attempting murder and mutiny as the quest for survival reveals their true characters. The briIIiant Rita Hayworth (The Lady from Shanghai) co-stars as the seventh member of the group, an American expatriate who gradualIy comes to appreciate Thorn’s quiet integrity as he Ieads his mutinous charges through a desperate odyssey. FiIled with both exciting action and fineIy tuned drama, their treacherous trek to the town of Cordura (which is also the Spanish word for courage) is a rugged and riveting tale of bravery far more enduring than the fleeting heroics of battle. Co-starring Van HefIin (Shane) and Tab Hunter (Damn Yankees) under the stirring direction of Robert Rossen (AlI the King’s Men, The HustIer).
