For a Few Dollars More

Directed by Sergio Leone, 1965
R; 132 minutes

“A hard-hitting western with upper-case values out of the busy Italo stable, this is a topnotch action entry.” —Variety

In the Wild West, a murderous outlaw known as El Indio (Gian Maria Volonte) and his gang terrorize and rob the citizens of the region. With a price on El Indio's head, two bounty hunters, Monco (Clint Eastwood) and Col. Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef), come to collect the prize. Upon their first meeting, the two men view each other as rivals, but eventually agree to become partners in their mutual pursuit of the vicious criminal.
