I was trying to show what the hell it's like to get shot," says Director Sam Peckinpah about this film, which follows a ragtag bunch of bandits as they scrounge through the Southwest.

Their revolution is primarily psychic: they are trying to get out of their heads and to explore the forgotten, non-intellective, human powers. They want to open themselves up to the totality of human experience. But no one can shake off a life-time of indoctrination in amonth or a year. Even as they aspire to joy, love, and honesty, too often their objective minds...
