The Wild Bunch (1969) Synopsis

In the waning days of the wild Old West and on the eve of World War I--after a botched attempt to rob a railroad office in broad daylight--the ageing outlaw, Pike Bishop, and his renegade gang of five equally dangerous criminals head to Mexico. With Bishop's former friend, Deke Thornton, and his posse of mercenaries hot on their trail, Pike and his men decide to do one daring last job: hijack a U.S. ammunition train to supply the megalomaniac General Mapache's revolutionary army. However, before long, this uneasy alliance will pave the way for a suicidal showdown, as loyalties are put to the test. Is there a future for Pike's Wild Bunch?—Nick Riganas
