In Peckinpah’s haunting Western death poem, Kristofferson is Billy the Kid, the fiery gunslinger who parts ways with his companion-turned-lawman, Pat Garrett (Coburn). After Billy busts out of a New Mexico jail, a group of powerful cattlemen hire Garrett to assemble a posse and track the bandit down, along with his gang (including Dylan, who wrote the film’s music).
