Sam Peckinpah directs this Western with James Coburn, Katy Jurado, Kris Kristofferson… and Bob Dylan! The old days of the Wild West are passing, and outlaw-turned-sheriff Pat Garrett is determined to move with the times. But with his former partner Billy the Kid still at large in the territory, and the wish of the cattle barons that the rule of law be imposed with greater and greater force, Garrett soon realises that his initial compromise will eventually lead him to betray everything he believes in.
