Duck, You Sucker
Two daredevils battle for a fortune in gold, and it will take an army to stop them!
Directed by Sergio Leone
Produced by Rafran Cinematografica, San Marco
A spaghetti western that blends cynical banditry with revolutionary idealism, following two mismatched rogues who stumble into heroism amid Mexico's violent upheaval.
At the beginning of the 1913 Mexican Revolution, greedy bandit Juan Miranda and idealist John H. Mallory, an Irish Republican Army explosives expert on the lam from the British, fall in with a band of revolutionaries plotting to strike a national bank. When it turns out that the government has been using the bank as a hiding place for illegally detained political prisoners -- who are freed by the blast -- Miranda becomes a revolutionary hero against his will.
