The movie takes place in 1913, on the eve of World War I. A group of bandits plan one last bank robbery before retirement.

The gang, hired by a renegade Mexican general to transport weapons, dodge danger at every turn, only to be double-crossed by their ruthless employer.

The film boasts gripping action capped off by an absolutely shocking finale.

Renowned for his balletic violence, Peckinpah staged one of the most bloody and violent shoot-outs on film. Think John Woo is an auteur? Think again.

A tremendous cast, a violent, vengeful storyline, and a director at the peak of his powers: one of the finest westerns ever made.
