  In 1913, Pancho Villa was the leader of a revolutionary army that the U.S. was warily aiding. This story is about a group of outlaws whose leader Pike Bishop (William Holden) boldly hijacks an ammunition train loaded with supplies for Gen. Mapache (Emilio Fernandez), and Bishop's ex-partner Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan) is in hot pursuit. A Sam Peckinpah classic that has it all.
