Wild Horses (Spanish: Caballos salvajes) is a 1995 Argentine road movie-drama film directed by Marcelo Piñeyro and written by Piñeyro and Aída Bortnik. It stars Héctor Alterio, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Cecilia Dopazo and Fernán Mirás. Renowned actors Cipe Lincovsky and Federico Luppi both appear in cameo appearances. The film chronicles the five days of two fugitives who are on the run after inadvertently robbing a corrupt corporation and being targeted by the media.
At the time of its release Wild Horses was critically acclaimed and quickly became the most popular Argentinian film of the year.[1] It was selected as the Argentine entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 68th Academy Awards, but it was not accepted as one of the final nominees.[2][3] Wild Horses is currently considered a classic of Argentina's cinema in its native country as well as abroad.
