Three Burials (The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada) (15)

When his good friend Melquiades Estrada is killed, ranch foreman Pete Perkins takes matters into his own hands to ensure his pal is buried properly in his Mexican hometown. He exhumes the body and kidnaps border patrolman Mike Norton, who accidentally shot Melquiades then tried to cover up the crime. As they head south over perilous desert and mountain terrain, Pete and Mike encounter numerous obstacles, not least the local wildlife and Mexican exiles attempting to illegally cross the border into America.
