The Badlanders

Peter Van Hoek (Alan Ladd) emerges from jail with a plan to rob a gold mine and take revenge on the mine owner, the townspeople and the corrupt deputy (Adam Williams) who framed him for theft. Teaming up with John McBain (Ernest Borgnine), who owned the mine before being cheated out of it, Peter returns to the Arizona town where he was arrested. After meeting with mine owner Cyril (Kent Smith), he assembles a team to steal gold from Cyril's mine and then sell it back to him.
