Film7.6WesternBir grup kanunsuz, emekliliklerini ilan etmeden önce son bir banka soygunu için bir araya gelir... Ancak soygun istedikleri gitmez. Çıkan çatışmada arkadaşlarının bir bölümünü kaybederler. Peşlerindeki kanun adamlarından kaçışları Meksika'da son bulurlar. Bir yandan peşlerindeki belalı bir ödül avcısı, öte yandan da yeni geldikleri ülkedeki cani askerler. Meksika'da huzur değil adeta bela bulan grup kaçışlarının bir son bulduğunu sanmaktadır ancak bu son aslında her şeyin başlangıcı olacaktır. Sam Peckinpah'ın western sinemasını sarsan filmi hala aşılması çok zor bir klasik.
