Written by members of the Firesign Theatre, a 1960s American surreal comedy troupe, the self-proclaimed first electric western, Zachariah (1971) is part rock musical, part classic western, and wholly a product of its time.

Based on Siddhartha, this thinly veiled gay cowboy love story follows the adventures of two best friends turned gunslingers, who set out for better lives and find themselves (wink, wink) in the process. This tongue-in-cheek, acid-fueled adventure follows the aspiring outlaws through bank robberies, saloon shootouts, border towns, and other shenanigans typical of the western genre, mashed up with the hippie counter-culture values and aesthetic like you've never seen before (or since).

Both soundtrack and scenes feature notable rockers of the day, including Joe Walsh, Elvin Jones, Douglas Kershaw, Country Joe McDonald and the Fish, and The New York Rock Ensemble, tying this time capsule of a film to rock & roll history of Woodstock and beyond.
