The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Wild Bunch starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar, "after a payroll robbery goes horribly wrong, a gang of aging outlaws is pursued into Mexico by a band of bounty hunters. The result is enough bloodshed and collateral damage to make this brutal post-Bonnie and Clyde Western epic one of the most controversial films of the '60s. Peckinpah's masterpiece is a violent, often beautiful requiem for a fast disappearing West and, it would turn out, the Western genre."
