Zachariah

Rock'n'roll and revolvers in the wild west? It's not that tough to become an outlaw... just go to the saloon and shoot somebody. Than join some rebel group, rock-band robbers or something similar and ride into the sun!

Underneath the gunplay, the jokes, and the music, an important message is delivered: a life of pacifism, quiet contemplation, male bonding and vegetarianism is preferable to a life of violence. This film is defined as being part of the Acid Western genre. More precisely, in its own publicity releases, it was called, "The first electric western." This was, in no small part, because this film featured several appearances and music supplied by successful rock bands from the era, including the James Gang and Country Joe and the Fish. Fiddler Doug Kershaw has a musical cameo that advances the plot of the film. The movie also features former John Coltrane sideman Elvin Jones as a gunslinging drummer named "Job Cain."

Directed by George Englund, starring Don Johnson, John Rubinstein and Patricia Quinn.
