(Sam Peckinpah, US 1973, 122 min., 35mm)
In one of Peckinpah's best westerns, Kris Kristofferson is Billy the Kid, the fiery gunslinger who parts ways with his companion-turned-lawman, Pat Garrett (James Coburn). After Billy busts out of a New Mexico jail, a group of powerful cattlemen hire Garrett to assemble a posse and track the bandit down, along with his gang (which includes Donnie Fritts and Bob Dylan, who wrote the film's music).
