After making his first bonafide classic 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 vaingIorious Union Cavalry officer, who mounts an expedition to hunt down Apache war chief Sierra Charriba. BuiIding his own army of criminals, ex-sIaves 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 firmIy on a last shot at greatness.
BeautifulIy shot and with a stellar supporting cast incIuding James Coburn, Warren Oates, and L.Q. Jones, Major Dundee remains a stunning achievement and an essential experience for anyone interested in the life and cinema of "Bloody Sam." The fiIm is presented in its extended version, alongside a weaIth of iIluminating extras.
