Summary

Warren Oates leads a wild bounty-hunting adventure through Mexico in Peckinpah’s cult classic. This 4K UHD upgrade is a dramatic improvement, with vivid HDR and sharp detail making the sun-scorched visuals almost oppressive in their intensity.
Recommended for patrons who appreciate vintage cinema with a modern polish—especially those drawn to anti-heroes and dust-filled showdowns.
