    Classic war film

    The blu-ray looks great and they sound is very good. This presentation of the film is actually in the widescreen 1.85:1 ratio that Sam Peckinpah shot it in,while a lot of DVDs have been cropped. There are over a dozen special features including a feature length commentary. This is one of the best and authentic war films ever made. And decades before Saving Private Ryan.
