A Fistful of Dollars

1967 • 100 minutes

About this movie

A pancho-clad, cigar-chewing, mysterious 'Man with No Name' rides into a small frontier town which is 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, with no regard for honor or morality. He plays both sides against the middle, collecting his money, until he eventually destroys both, leaving the town to the bartender, coffin-maker and bell ringer as he rides off into the desert from whence he came. Based on Akira Kurosawa's 1961 film YOJIMBO.

Ratings and reviews

I like this and also like for a few dollars more. The good,the bad and the ugly lacks humour and is nearly 3 hours long...

Google seems to like this movie, they are getting fists full of dollars from people willing to pay for over priced movies.

It's a great film. @Google Just want to point out that the review/synopsis is a little too revealing. I know it's an old film but you don't need to give the whole story away.
