A Fistful of Dollars

DramaWestern99 min

A nameless drifter rides into the Mexican border village of San Miguel and finds it split between the Rojo brothers and sheriff John Baxter, each trying to control the town. Clint Eastwood is the stranger, a quiet gunman who inserts himself into the feud after the Rojos seize a shipment of gold meant for Mexican soldiers. Feeding false information to both sides, he turns a long-simmering gang war into a dangerous game of leverage and survival. Gian Maria Volonté appears among the Rojo clan, with Marianne Koch in the middle of a town where every alley, cantina, and street corner sits under watch.
