Thomasine & Bushrod (1974)

Blaxploitation's answer to Bonnie and Clyde (1967) follows the exploits of early-20th-century bounty hunter Thomasine (Vonetta McGee) and bandit Bushrod (Max Julien) who, after they rekindle their old romance, take to robbing banks in order to survive, stealing from rich whites and sharing their loot with the poor living on the harsh frontier. Combining rollicking action with a subversive anticapitalist punch, this Black western is a prime showcase for McGee's formidable talents.
