<p><em>The Wild Bunch</em> (1969), directed by Sam Peckinpah and
starring William Holden and Ernest Borgnine, is considered one
of the most accomplished and bizarre Westerns of the last
century. Through the depiction of a bloody confrontation
between American outlaws and Huertista during the Mexican
Revolution, this film delivers an explosive criticism of
American society and politics during the Vietnam years.<br>
