Are they good, bad and ugly, or all just bad? Three ruthless gunslingers – Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef – vie for a trove of Confederate gold during the American Civil War.

Filmed on a shoestring, Sergio Leone’s stylish classic challenged 1967 audiences by elevating corny western tropes into cinematic art, assisted by Ennio Morricone’s stunning score.

‘An improbable masterpiece — a bizarre mixture of grandly operatic visuals, grim brutality and sordid violence that keeps wrenching you from one extreme to the other.’ – Chicago Tribune
