Synopsis in German
Die Kavallerie und die Indianer: Captain Lorrison und sein Scout Ward Kinsman rücken aus, um eine von Indianern gefangen gehaltene Weiße zu befreien. Aber der Offizier hört nicht auf den Scout und verliert die meisten seiner Männer. Kinsman bringt die Strafexpedition zu Ende und kehrt mit der befreiten Frau nach Fort Gamble zurück... (wdr Presse)

Reviews in German: "Temporeicher und packender letzter Film von Regisseur Sam Wood (1883-1949)" (tele)

"Not rated: action yarn pitting the US Cavalry against Apaches in Arizona." (TV-Guide)
Remarks and general Information in German: "Ambush" war der letzte Film des Regie-Veteranen Sam Wood: Ein Western, der keinen Zweifel daran lässt, wie die US-Armee mit den Ureinwohnern umgegangen ist. Sam Wood, der große Sachen (wie seine Filmversion von Hemingways "Wem die Stunde schlägt") kompetent zu inszenieren wusste, verstand es auch immer wieder, Drehbuchschwächen nach dem Rezept zu kurieren: "Wenn etwas nicht allzu gut ist, halt es wenigstens auf Trab." Und das ist auch hier ziemlich unterhaltsam gelungen." (Roland Johannes, wdr Presse)
