Although controversial in 1971, Straw Dogs is considered by many to be one of Peckinpah's greatest films. Dustin Hoffman plays an American mathematician who moves to his wife’s Cornish hometown. There he is treated with contempt by the locals. The bookish pacifist is treated with contempt by the locals. After Hoffman's wife is raped, the perpetrators launch an all-out assault against the couple. Hoffman takes a chilling, bloody revenge against his persecutors.
