Requiem for Billy the Kid recounts the life of Billy the
Kid. The premise of the film is an investigation into the often-challenged
circumstances that led to the death of the 21-year old outlaw in the hands of
sheriff Pat Garrett on July 14, 1881. As we follow the modern sheriff on
camera, off camera Billy the Kid, played by Kris Kristofferson, gives his own
account of the events. Part poetic evocation, part road-movie, Requiem for
Billy the Kid is essentially homage to the western genre and to the people who
today still live up to that life.
