Page "Walker (film)" Paragraph 0

Walker is a 1987 Acid Western film directed by Alex Cox.

The film based on the life story of William Walker ( played by Ed Harris ), the American filibuster who invaded Mexico in the 1850s and made himself President of Nicaragua shortly thereafter.

It was written by Rudy Wurlitzer and scored by Joe Strummer, who also plays a small role as a member of Walker's army.

The film, released in 1987 and which by the end is intentionally full of anachronisms such as helicopters, Zippo lighters, automatic rifles, and a car passing a horse carriage, was made in Nicaragua during the Contra War.
