The hard-hitting epic that birthed the Spaghetti Western was an instant international phenomenon, stunning audiences with its violence and gritty realism. The first appearance of Clint Eastwood’s 'Man with No Name' - a poncho-clad, cigar-chewing, gunman - rides into a small frontier town embroiled in a struggle for power between two families. He hires himself out as a mercenary, first to one faction and then to the other, playing both sides against each other with no regard for honor or morality. Based on Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo. (Italy, 1964, 99 mins, English | Dir. Sergio Leone)
