Nine men who came too late and stayed too long!
This Original Director's Cut restores it to a complete, pristine condition unseen since its July 1969 theatrical debut. The image is letterboxed, the colour renewed, the stereo soundtrack remixed and reintegrated - all to blood-and-thunder effect. Watch William Holden, Earnet Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Warren Oates and more great stars saddle up for the roles of a lifetime.
This DVD also features (on Side B) the home video debut of The Wild Bunch: An Album in Montage, the Academy Award nominated 1996 documentary by Paul Seydor and Nick Redman. It includes long-unseen footage of the on-set shooting and reminiscences by principals connected with the film.
The year is 1913, just one year short of World War 1. Disguised as U.S. soldiers, a gang rides into a Texas border town. Silently, they enter and rob the railroad company, but an ambush lies in wait.
When the gang emerges, the company's hired gunmen open fire. Men, women, and children are caught in the crossfire. The gang escape to their hideout in the desert where they find that the loot they fought so hard is worthless. With the railroad company hard on their heels, the gang, lead by Pike, head for the apparent safety of the Mexican revolutionaries and representatives of the ruling Government. As a result of these separate meetings, Pike and his gang are forced to re-examine the principles that had, until then, ruled their lives.

Another top notch western from director Sam Peckinpah that was made way back in 1969 and has stood the test of time! In fact this is the fully restored version with over 2 hours of gritty, action-packed footage not seen since it was very first made!!
This directors cut is part of the ultimate western collection - which includes Pale Rider, Outlaw Josey Wales, Rio Bravo, Chisum, Maverick, Jeramiah Johnson, Wyatt Earp!
Packed with great names such as Ernest Bogine and William Holden and contain real documentary footage from filming back in 1969 this is a must have in any collection!!!
