Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid   1973         R, 121 min. Genre: Western / Drama aka: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid Director: Sam Peckinpah   Cast: James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Jason Robards, Elisha Cook Jr., Richard Jaeckel, Katy Jurado, Chill Wills, Slim Pickens, Jack Elam, R.G. Armstrong, Luke Askew, John Beck, Matt Clark, Rita Coolidge   In 1881, Sheriff Pat Garrett (James Coburn) and his posse are on the trail of Garrett's one-time friend, outlaw Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson). Billy could flee to Mexico and find safety but, instead, heads to Fort Sumner, New Mexico, where Garrett confronts him and brings an end to Billy and his outlaw activities. This is the much-edited story of that tension-filled time and is worth viewing for the chance to see great character actors in action.
