The conflict between Heston and Harris under pins a theme of conflict (noble or foolhardy), loyalty (to your duty, country or friends) and legacy (the failed drunken commander, the immigrant rebel, the victorious hero) and it elevates this beyond a generic cowboys and Indians movie. Add to that a cracker script and screenplay and all the Peckipah trademarks with some amazing shots making the most of the Mexican scenery.
Would sit firmly on my 'must see' Westerns list and would happily watch a longer cut
