Charlton Heston and Richard Harris are unwilling allies in director Sam Peckinpah’s spectacular Western adventure.
When Apaches massacre a U.S. cavalry troop in New Mexico, Major Dundee (Heston) assembles an army of cutthroats, renegades and Confederate prisoners led by his hated counterpart, Captain Tyreen (Harris). Dundee and his rebel band pursue the Indians into Mexico, where they battle the French army as well as murderous Apaches. Aiding a ravaged village, the men are honored with a fiesta, and the Major finds solace with beautiful Teresa Santiago (Senta Berger). But this idyll is only temporary. In an unforgettable climax, the two officers put aside their fierce rivalry and lead their troops to confront the French in a bloody showdown.
