The Wild Bunch is a controversial 1969 Western film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O'Brien, Warren Oates, Jaime Sánchez, Ben Johnson, Strother Martin, L.Q. Jones, Bo Hopkins and Dub Taylor. The film details an aging gang of outlaws on the Texas/Mexico border in 1913 attempting to survive a rapidly approaching modern world. The film is notorious for its extreme violence during an opening bank robbery sequence and a concluding battle between the outlaws and the Mexican army.

The screenplay, written by Walon Green, Roy N. Sickner and Sam Peckinpah, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, while the musical score by Jerry Fielding was nominated for Original Music Score. Peckinpah was nominated for Outstanding Directorial Achievement by the Directors Guild of America. Lucien Ballard won the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Cinematography.

The Wild Bunch is also noted for its intricately edited action sequences utilizing slow motion and normal motion shots from multiple camera angles, a revolutionary technique that would eventually become commonplace in motion pictures (and Peckinpah's future films). Similar work with slow motion had previously been utilized in Seven Samurai (1954), Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and in French New Wave films of the era, but the massive technical virtuosity of The Wild Bunch would inspire directors for years to come when depicting film action and violence.

In 1999 the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. The film would be ranked No. 80 on the American Film Institute's top 100 list of the greatest American films ever made and No. 69 as the most thrilling.
