Sam Peckinpah’s classic about aging gunmen in 1913 Texas, attempting to survive by any available means., Bloody elegy to the American west following a gang of grizzled robbers out of date and out of time in an age of cars and machine guns., Sam Peckinpah’s controversial revisionist Western takes place in Texas and Mexico in 1913, a transitional year when the Old West was giving way to the New West. The titular outlaw bunch, headed by ethical-in-his-fashion Pike (William Holden), continues staging violent bank robberies in their old, time-honored tradition. After a particularly brutal holdup in the town of San Rafael, the gang — or what’s left of it — heads for the hills of Mexico, pursued by a posse led by Thornton (Robert Ryan), an old friend of Pike’s. The gang discovers that the bank had been set up to be robbed by Thornton’s railroad-executive boss Pat Harrigan (Albert Dekker), and that their booty consists of worthless metal washers. Meanwhile, the conscience-stricken Thornton seethes over Harrigan’s scheme, which has cost too many innocent lives, but he is powerless to leave the railroad baron’s employ lest he be sent back to jail. While hiding out in a Mexican village, the gang is engaged by corrupt general Emilio Fernandez to steal a huge shipment of guns from the U.S. Army. Like Thornton, Pike agrees against his will: his right-hand man Jaime Sanchez is being held hostage by Fernandez, who in turn is being manipulated by a pair of war-mongering German officers. More violence — both justified and gratuitous — follows, leading to a final blood-spattered confrontation between the Wild Bunch and ‘s posse. For many years, no one audience was privy to a “definitive” version of The Wild Bunch. Peckinpah’s 144-minute director’s cut was butchered by Warner Bros. after its first press showing (curiously, the studio removed not only the gorier scenes, but also several motivational sequences, rendering much of the film incomprehensible). The 1981 reissue was restored to 141 minutes, but it wasn’t until the advent of home video that the complete version was once more made available. Once considered the last word in cinematic bloodletting, The Wild Bunch is a model of decorum compared to what was to follow., One of Sam Penkinpah’s most celebrated films is also one of his most controversial as a gang of Outlaws head to Mexico to steal a shipment of guns., One of Sam Penkinpah’s most celebrated films is also one of his most controversial as a gang of Outlaws head to Mexico with intent to steal a shipment of guns with a reformed ex-member is also in hot pursuit., The old and the new West clash as outlaws, led by an aging gunfighter, ride into a Texas border town to rob a local railroad office., An aging group of outlaws look for one last big score as the “traditional” American West is disappearing around them, Epic frontier drama set in 1914 in which Texan bandits are ambushed by an old enemy and have to defend themselves against a Mexican revolutionary. Sam Peckinpah’s violent epic became a landmark in the historical progression of the western genre., A few months before WW1 an aging band of outlaws led by Pike Bishop rob a Texas bank intent on using the money to retire. When the robbery goes wrong the gang is forced to flee to Mexico with Bishop’s reformed ex-partner in hot pursuit. With nothing to show for a failed robbery, the gang decide to steal a shipment of guns to restore their fortunes., In 1913, aging Texas outlaws steal guns for a Mexican general, and get caught in a bloody shoot-out as frontier life gives way to modernity in the midst of the Mexican Revolution. The script, by director Sam Peckinpah, Roy N. Sickner and Walon Green, was nominated for Best Original Screenplay., In 1914, Pike Bishop’s gang of Texan bandits is ambushed by an old enemy during a violent bank robbery, and escape to their hideout across the border. But when they encounter Mapache, a particularly brutal renegade Mexican general, Bishop’s gang is forced to take sides in a dispute that threatens to engulf them all in slaughter. Sam Peckinpah’s violent epic became a landmark in the history of the Western., Lyrical, bloody elegy to the dying American west (and perhaps the western). A tremendous cast, a violent, vengeful storyline and a director at the peak of his powers: one of the finest westerns ever made.
