The wealthy and powerful farmer shouts: “Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia!” Two bounty-hunters set out. At a saloon they encounter our protagonist, the piano-player and bartender Bennie. Believing that he will get a bounty of one million dollars if he brings Alfredo’s head, Bennie sets out with his girlfriend on a drunken, violent journey to Mexico. In this journey stinking of blood and tequila, Peckinpah does not spare his antihero even though he likes him. Beginning like a Western and regarded as a cult movie years later, the film later takes on a darker tone, testing the boundaries of passion and obsession.
