Plot

Three gunmen race to find buried gold during the American Civil War.

Sinekatalog’s take

Leone stretches a Civil War treasure hunt into an epic of squints, silence and Ennio Morricone's music. The three-way standoff at the cemetery is an all-time great sequence. Slow in the best way.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
