William Holden is an aging cowpoke working on Karl Malden's Montana ranch. He befriends young Ryan O'Neal and the two of them spend most of their time at the whorehouse in town or getting in brawls at the bar over card games. O'Neal comes up with the idea to rob the bank, and Holden reluctantly agrees. They go on the lam through spectacular scenery, pursued by Malden's sons. It's overlong by about an hour, filled with violence towards animals, has a Jerry Goldsmith score derivative of Aaron Copland and relies on slow motion to make its dramatic points.
