在这部铁人：萨姆·佩金帕纪录片/传记片中,BBC制作的Sam Peckinpah生平纪录片，James Coburn、Ali MacGraw等合作者接受采访。原版本长度约为92分钟。收入Criterion 《稻草狗》DVD的版本，因为版权问题，删掉了大约10分钟的电影片段资料。
This straight-talking program seeks to understand the enigmatic and controversial Sam Peckinpah, whose violent films such as The Wild Bunch and Straw Dogs had a telling effect on the cinema of the 1970s and 80s. Those who knew and worked with him, including actor James Coburn, actress Ali MacGraw, his associate Katherine Haber, his cousin Bob Peckinpah, and several screenwriters and producers, examine his life in an attempt to separate the man from the persona. Clips from key films reinforce this detailed discussion of Peckinpah's art and a fixation on violence that still permeates Hollywood today.
