starring James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson with Bob Dylan as 'Alias'
'It's times that have changed -not me.' Billy, the young outlaw, is forced to accept that 'progress' has come to the American south west, but even so he is reluctant to change his ways. It is up to his former friend - an outlaw turned lawman - to hunt down the Kid and make him see 'sense' - at the end of a rope. Sam Peckinpah's
Western is a vividly authentic portrait of life at the turn of the century in a violent land where the law was a recent innovation.
