The first of Sergio Leone’s landmark westerns rejuvenated the ailing genre and catapulted Eastwood to stardom. Propelled by Ennio Morricone’s incredible score, the tale of an unnamed stranger who sets two gangs of killers against each other has its origins in Yojimbo. The film’s nihilism is al its very own.
