In 1926, the USS San Pablo patrols the Yangtze River during the clashes between Chiang Kai-shek's communists and Chinese warlords.

When convict Doc McCoy is refused parole, he enlists his wife, Carol, to strike a deal with crooked Texan Jack Beynon, who agrees to pull strings for Doc in return for his help on one last bank heist.

A renowned gunslinger with a storied past, Tom Horn (Steve McQueen) opts for a reclusive life until he starts working for rancher John C. Coble (Richard Farnsworth).

Before he becomes commander-in-chief, John F. Kennedy (Cliff Robertson) is a lieutenant, junior grade, in command of a PT-109 boat during World War II. In Leslie H. Martinson's dramatization of the future president's war efforts, Kennedy uses his family name to put himself in the action instead of shirking his duties.
