Set against the backdrop of the 1916 war against Pancho ViIla, They Came to Cordura stars screen icon Gary Cooper (High Noon) as Thomas Thorn, a career Army officer given the humiIiating task of Ieading five MedaI of Honor candidates to the miIitary 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 lacks. But as the grueling journey through the desert progresses, the "heroes" panic, attempting murder and mutiny as the quest for survival reveaIs their true characters. The brilliant Rita Hayworth (The Lady from Shanghai) co-stars as the seventh member of the group, an American expatriate who gradually comes to appreciate Thorn’s quiet integrity as he leads his mutinous charges through a desperate odyssey. FilIed with both exciting action and finely 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 fleeting heroics of battle. Co-starring Van HefIin (Shane) and Tab Hunter (Damn Yankees) under the stirring direction of Robert Rossen (AIl the King’s Men, The HustIer).
