Requiem for Billy The Kid

Lincoln, NM, July 14, 1881. 21-year old outlaw Billy the Kid is gunned down by his friend, sheriff Pat Garrett. A legend is born. And a rumor. Today, a French woman, the film’s Narrator, sets off on a search for Billy the Kid’s shadow in New Mexico just as Lincoln County’s modern day Sheriff Tom Sullivan is opening a murder case into the circumstances that led to the Kid’s escape from jail and his death. The sheriff has one goal: finding the truth. Did Pat Garrett kill Billy the Kid that night or did Billy the Kid escape to Mexico as the century-old rumor has it? The Kid, impersonated by Kris Kristofferson, rises from the dead to give his own account of events.
