Set during the Civil War, Bad Company stars Barry Brown as a Northern boy, Drew Dixon, who heads West to avoid getting drafted. He falls under the spell of Jake Rumsey (Jeff Bridges), an easygoing young con artist. Drew joins Jake's gang of boy bandits, who live by their wits and try to avoid confrontation with adult criminals like Big Joe (David Huddleston). It is Drew who must eventually save Jake from hanging, even though he realizes that his intervention could lead to his own execution. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jeff Bridges stars in the 1972 Western Bad Company. Paramount's work on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is solid if unexciting. The image is generally free of any dirt or grain, though a small amount of edge enhancement pops up in a few key scenes. Overall, the colors and black levels are solid and firm, making this a pleasing first-ever widescreen transfer for fans of the film. The audio is presented in a very flat Dolby Digital 1.0 Mono soundtrack in English. While the bulk of the dialogue, effects, and music are clear of any excessive hiss or distortion, the mix suffers from only being filtered though the center speaker. Also available on this disc are English subtitles. Those hoping for even a single solitary extra feature will be sorely disappointed in this DVD -- =Bad Company is a completely bare-bones disc. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
