Wild Bunch, The

1969

Faced with the prospect of retirement, a group of aging desperadoes -- led by the venerable Pike Bishop (William Holden) -- agrees to pull off one last job. But when a kink in their plans forces them south of the border, hooking up with an evil Mexican general (Emilio Fernández) is the only way they'll get their loot. The special edition of Sam Peckinpah's Western classic includes never-before-seen outtakes and a trio of exclusive documentaries.

The land had changed. They hadn't. The earth had cooled. They couldn't.
