The Day of the Wolves

The Day of the Wolves

They Ravaged A Whole City

Director: Ferde Grofé Jr.

Writer: Ferde Grofé Jr.

A group of six thieves selected from different areas are sent a letter that promises them a minimum of $50,000 and includes a plane ticket. The letter instructs them to grow a beard. After being given a blindfolded ride from the airport, they arrive at a ghost town and meet with the boss (Number #1, Jan Murray). All of the "Wolves" are assigned a number, wear identical overalls and instructed never to take off the gloves that they are given. They are only to address eachother by their numbers; in that way, if one is caught, he can't rat-out the others. Number #1 reveals to them that they will take over a town, and clean it out. Using the ghost town for training, they develop their tactics to fleece the town.

What Others Said

dennyjt: Mastermind Murray recruits 6 criminals, having planned a perfect crime. The plan is to take over Lake Havasu City, a small, model community, cutting them off from the outside world and raiding the banks and stores of all their cash. Egan is the gruff police chief whose wife Hyer wants him to quit. He stands up for his duty when the shooting starts. Neat ironic ending caps a clever thriller that gains from filming in real locations. The gang don't hold back when violence is needed with Egan the only one to stand up to them, in a parallel to “High Noon”. The plan seems to be brilliant and foolproof until that reveal at the end.
