This American cult classic can be hard to pin down. It's best described as a Neo-western.

A tribute to John Fords Monument Valley, with a reverse perspective of the ailing 1960's counter-culture.

The only film to be directed by the American rock musician, composer and record producer James William Guercio, this is one of the outstanding movies from the cycle of edgy police thrillers thrown up by the Vietnam war and the civil unrest of the early Sixties. It's a witty, ambivalent riposte to Easy Rider, a film to which it directly alludes.

'Incompetence is the worst form of corruption.'

The magnificent photography is by the late Conrad Hall (winner of Oscars for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, American Beauty and Road to Perdition) who had worked with Blake on In Cold Blood and Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here.
