The ultimate showdown between Cowboys and Indians is interrupted…by an Alien Invasion.
A spaceship arrives in Arizona, 1873, to take over the Earth, starting with the Wild West region. A posse of cowboys and natives are all that stand in their way.
The Old West will never be the same. Every conqueror believes himself moved by a higher power, his destructive actions justified by necessity, compassion, or divine providence.

But not for long… When Extra-terrestrial invaders lands in the Old West, they give the Cowboys the fight of their lives, forcing them to pair with Indians in this battle for control of the planet.
