A Fistful of Dollars
1964· R· 1h 39m· Western
“In his own way he is, perhaps, the most dangerous man who ever lived!”
A Fistful of Dollars introduces the enigmatic Man With No Name to a Mexican village embroiled in a feud between the Rojo brothers and Sheriff John Baxter. As a regiment of soldiers transporting gold for new weapons is ambushed by the Rojos, the stranger exploits the conflict, peddling misinformation to both sides for personal gain. Sergio Leone's stark landscapes and intense standoffs define a narrative driven by opportunism and moral ambiguity.
