Major Dundee

What they share

Theysit in War / Western territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shenandoah, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Major Dundee is

You lead a mixed company into Mexico. The goal: neutralize Apaches. But divided loyalties dog every mile. Peckinpah's early work shows him testing the limits of star Charlton Heston. It lingers on the cost of command.
