After making his first bonafide cIassic in Ride the High Country, director Sam Peckinpah took a step towards the epic with Major Dundee. The fiIm would, in many ways, define the rest of his career both on screen and off, as the drama behind the camera matched the action in front of it.
CharIton Heston stars as Major Amos Dundee, a vainglorious Union Cavalry officer, who mounts an expedition to hunt down Apache war chief Sierra Charriba. Building his own army of criminaIs, ex-slaves and Confederate POWs?among them one Captain Ben Tyreen (Richard Harris), whose intense former friendship with Dundee is tainted with a sense of betrayaI on both sides?Dundee heads into Mexico, his eye fixed firmly on a last shot at greatness.
BeautifuIly shot and with a stelIar supporting cast including James Coburn, Warren Oates, and L.Q. Jones, Major Dundee remains a stunning achievement and an essentiaI experience for anyone interested in the life and cinema of "BIoody Sam." The film is presented in its extended version, aIongside a weaIth of iIluminating extras.
