An iconic spaghetti western that transforms a gold-hunt into a morally ambiguous meditation on greed, survival, and the futility of violence, anchored by iconic gunplay and operatic visual style.
While the Civil War rages on between the Union and the Confederacy, three men – a quiet loner, a ruthless hitman, and a Mexican bandit – comb the American Southwest in search of a strongbox containing $200,000 in stolen gold.
