Terrorizing innocent civilians while tearing up the streets, the ruthless gang laughs in the face of the police force heel-bent on stopping them. But they underestimate one officer: Max Rockatansky.

A Fistful of Dollars

Monte Hellman

★★★★★

"Clint Eastwodd's legendary "Man with No Name" makes his powerful debut in this thrilling, action-packed 'new breed of western' from the acclaimed director of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Exploding with blistering shoot-outs, dynamic performances and atmospheric cinematography, it's an undisputed classic of the genre. A mysterious gunman has just arrived in San Miguel, a grim, dusty border town where two rival bands of smugglers are terrorizing the impoverished citizens. A master of the 'quick draw,' the stranger soon receives offers of employment from each gang. But his loyalty cannot be bought; he accepts both jobs...and sets in motion a plan to destroy both groups of criminals, pitting one against the other in a series of brilliantly orchestrated set-ups, showdowns and deadly confrontations."

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Sergio Leone

★★★★☆

"By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influentual western ever mounted, The Good the Bad and the Ugly is an engrossing actioner shot through with a volotile mix of myth and realism. Clint Eastwood returns as the "Man with No Name," this time teaming with two gunslingers to pusue a cache of $200,000--and letting no one, not even warring factions in a civil war, stand in their way. From sun-drenched panoramas to bold hard closeups, exceptional camera work captures teh beauty and cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it. Forging a vibrant and yet detached style of action that had not been seen before, and has never been matched since, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly shatters the western mold in true Clint Eastwood style."
