With the two preceding films in his "Dollars" trilogy having unleashed a boom in Euro Western productions, Sergio Leone knew that his concluding chapter would have to top them all. Armed with his largest budget yet, Leone created what is, for many, the final word on the subject - a violent, picaresque epic presented with operatic scope and intensity, with Clint Eastwood donning the iconic hat and poncho one last time. Mythic, cynical and endlessly entertaining, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly brings Leone's grand sense of dramatic scale to its climax.

Amid the chaos of the American Civil War, three gunslingers— The Man With No Name (Eastwood), Tuco (Eli Wallach), and Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef)—race to uncover a fortune in stolen Confederate gold. Each holds part of the secret to its location, but uneasy alliances and shifting loyalties lead them toward a legendary final showdown.

Reviews
"Leone cares not at all about the practical or the plausible, and builds his great film on the rubbish of Western movie cliches, using style to elevate dreck into art." –Roger Ebert
