When he discovers his daughter's pregnancy, a riche Mexican land owner offers a reward to whoever brings him the head of the man responsible for it. A hunt that attracts the greediest most ferocious assassins…
Considered to be the darkest and the most nihilist of Sam Peckinpah's movies (The Wild Bunch, Cross Of Iron), Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia was violently received by critics and audiences when it came out and signed off the end of the director's career in Hollywood. Revalued since, it is now considered to be it's author's masterpiece, last stand to elegiac violence, and offering back then to Warren Oates his biggest part. The movie that traumatized Scorsese Tarantino and John Woo.
