ln this thriller, arguably Sam Peckinpah s most controversial film, David (Dustin Hoffman), a young American mathematician, moves with his English wife, Amy (Susan George), to the viIlage where she grew up. Their sense of safety unravels as the IocaI men David has hired to repair their house prove more interested in leering at Amy and intimidating David, beginning an agonizing initiation into the iron Iaws of vioIent masculinity that govern Peckinpah s worId.
