100 Rifles is a 1969 western directed by Tom Gries. The film stars Burt Reynolds, Raquel Welch, Jim Brown, and Fernando Lamas.

Plot

Set in 1912 Mexico, an Arizona lawman named Lyedecker (Brown) travels to a remote village looking for Yaqui Joe (Reynolds), a half-Indian, half-white bank robber who's stolen $6,000 to buy rifles for his people who are being repressed by the government.

Lyedecker isn't concerned with Yaqui Joe's cause, and all he cares about is getting the money returned to a Phoenix bank within his jurisdiction. They eventually become allies and fight for the Indians.

Significance

100 Rifles was one of the first films to feature an interracial sex scene (between Brown and Welch).
