Duel at Diablo is a 1966 western film starring James Garner and Sidney Poitier. Based on Marvin H. Albert's novel Apache Rising, the film was written by Albert and Michael M. Grilikhes and directed by Ralph Nelson. The supporting cast includes Bibi Andersson, Bill Travers, and Dennis Weaver. The movie was shot on location in Utah.
While crossing the desert, a frontier scout, Jess Remsberg, rescues a woman from a pursuing band of Apache warriors, and returns her to her husband, Willard Grange. The couple have been on the move since two years before Ellen Grange had been kidnapped by Apaches and rescued and then townsfolk treated her as an outcast.
Remsberg, meanwhile, has his own mission, to find the murderers of his own wife, who was a Comanche: He must go to Fort Concho to obtain information from the town marshal. On the way there, he is contracted to act as a scout for an Army cavalry unit bringing horses, new soldiers and supplies to the fort. Willard and Ellen Grange and her infant son by a Comanche warrior are along for the ride, as is a horse trader, Toller, a veteran of the 10th Cavalry "buffalo soldiers".
The party ends up under siege, trapped in a canyon by Chata, an Apache chief and grandfather of Ellen's baby.
