Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid

media release: USA | 1973 | DCP | 117 min.

Director: Sam Peckinpah

Cast: Kris Kristofferson, James Coburn, Bob Dylan

In Peckinpah’s haunting Western death poem, Kristofferson is Billy the Kid, the fiery gunslinger who parts ways with his companion-turned-lawman, Pat Garrett (Coburn). After Billy busts out of a New Mexico jail, a group of powerful cattlemen hire Garrett to assemble a posse and track the bandit down, along with his gang (including Dylan, who wrote the film’s music). Recently reconstructed by a team that includes original editor Roger Spottiswoode, this special edition comes closest to realizing Peckinpah’s vision than any of the previously released versions.

Admission free for all screenings, seating limited. No admission 15 minutes after scheduled start times. Please visit our website for a complete listing of programs and descriptions.
