Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia

1974 · TMDB 7.1

Directed by Sam Peckinpah

An American bartender and his prostitute girlfriend go on a road trip through the Mexican underworld to collect a $1 million bounty on the head of a dead gigolo.

Why it matters

Peckinpah's nihilistic road movie about a piano player hunting a bounty, a descent into violence that mirrors the death of the outlaw spirit.
