Brand new factory sealed blu-ray is Out Of Print (OOP), but still available in limited quantitys on dvd. Taking place in what must be the bleeding end of the frontier era, 1913, when Pancho Villa was tormenting a corrupt Mexican Government while the United States watched quietly from across the border. Begining on a hot, lazy afternoon as six U.S. soldiers ride into a small Texas border town the "soldiers" pass on to the railroad office, which they quietly proceed to rob of it's cash receipts. A moment later, the town literally explodes in the ambush that has been set for the outlaws. We follow the members of the WILD BUNCH from their disastrous, profitless experience at San Rafeal to Mexico, where they become involved with a smilingly sadistic Mexican general fighting Villa. It is most interesting in its almost jolly account of chaos, corruption, and defeat. All personal relationships in the movie seem somehow perverted in odd mixtures of noble sentimentality, greed, and lust. William Holden is the aging leader of the Wild Bunch and Robert Ryan is his former friend who, with disdain, leads the bounty hunters in pursuit of the gang.
