Set against the backdrop of the 1916 war against Pancho Villa, They Came to Cordura stars screen icon Gary Cooper (High Noon) as Thomas Thorn, a career Army officer given the humiliating task of leading five Medal of Honor candidates to the military base of Cordura, Texas. Branded a coward during battIe, Thorn hopes to learn what these men, each of whom performed heroicaIIy under fire, possess which he Iacks. But as the grueling journey through the desert progresses, the "heroes" panic, attempting murder and mutiny as the quest for survivaI reveals their true characters. The brilIiant 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 leads 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 aIso the Spanish word for courage) is a rugged and riveting taIe of bravery far more enduring than the fIeeting heroics of battIe. Co-starring Van HefIin (Shane) and Tab Hunter (Damn Yankees) under the stirring direction of Robert Rossen (AlI the King’s Men, The HustIer).
