Sam Peckinpah's first big-budget film was also the first to be taken away and released in a shortened version. But now, 40 years later, most of the missing footage has been located and reinserted with the entire soundtrack remixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital, and a completely new score composed. The new scenes complete the electrifying depiction of an oppressive Union officer who leads a squad of Rebel prisoners, ex-slaves, and criminals into Mexico to hunt down a band of murdering Apaches which raises the question: who represents a greater threat?
Editor's Note
A U.S. Cavalry officer leads a makeshift army against bloodthirsty Apaches. Filmed entirely on location in Mexico.

| Memorable Quotes| "On 'Dundee' they cut 80% of the violence out and made it [the violence] very attractive and exciting; but the really bloody, awful things that happen to men in war were cut out, which I thought was unforgivable... ---- SAM PECKINPAH |

"[With] a Heston performance that's as multi-layered as anything he's ever done." 10/01/2005 p.126 |
