Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTen members of the Reno gang were lynched in three separate incidents in 1868. The first three were taken by vigilantes from a train. Three others were lynched at a later time. The last lynching--which included Reno brothers, Frank, Sim and Bill--actually claimed a fourth victim, gang member Charlie Anderson. Anderson and Frank Reno were technically in federal custody when they were lynched. This is believed to be the only time in US history that a federal prisoner had ever been lynched by a mob before a trial.
- GoofsSet in Indiana in 1866, the opening sequences reveal telephone poles and telephone lines in the background. Also, the U.S. and California State flag are shown on a flagpole in the background. (The film was shot in California)
- Quotes
Opening crawl: This is the true story of the Reno Brothers... Clint, a respected farmer, and Frank, Simeon, John and Bill... who were the first train robbers in American history. Looting, burning and killing, this infamous clan rode through the middle border states setting the pattern for the great outlaw bands which were to follow: the James boys, the Daltons and the Youngers... The year, 1866. The place is Southern Indiana.

Featured review
The Train Robbers
Yet another western set in the aftermath of the Civil War, evidently made much more cheaply than in Randy Scott's forties' heyday and played for drama rather than thrills aided by a screenplay by Horace McCoy and atmospheric photography by Raymond Rennahan.
Scott makes nearly half an hour to make his first appearance, the emphasis till then squarely on the shrewd and vicious Reno brothers, who early on display atrocious table manners (Forrest Tucker actually drinking from his plate), while Mala Powers is as gorgeous as J. Carroll Naish is ugly. Edgar Buchanan is his usual laconic self as a cynical, cheroot-chewing judge.
