Sergio Leone · 1966 · road

Sergio Leone's 1966 spaghetti Western. During the American Civil War in the New Mexico Territory, three gunmen - the bounty hunter Blondie, the ruthless Angel Eyes and the bandit Tuco - chase a fortune in buried Confederate gold across a war-torn landscape. Their uneasy, treacherous pursuit leads through prison camps and battlefields to a three-way showdown in a vast desert cemetery.
