The Dollars Trilogy 4K Ultra HD

A Fistful of Dollars wasn’t the first spaghetti western — but the genre was never the same again after Sergio Leone’s audacious breakthrough. Starring Clint Eastwood in the role that made him an international icon, the film introduces a nameless stranger who rides into a Mexican border town torn apart by a vicious power struggle between two rival families, the Baxters and the Rojos. His only chance of escape is a final standoff against the merciless Ramón (Gian Maria Volonté).

With For a Few Dollars More, Leone expanded the canvas of his mythic, feverish vision and refined his unmistakable style. Two rival bounty hunters (Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef) pursue the same target — the psychopathic bandit “El Indio” (Volonté). Forming an uneasy alliance, the pair infiltrate his gang, but as greed begets violence, the hunters become the hunted, culminating in a circle-of-death showdown.

The trilogy concludes with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, a violent, picaresque epic of operatic scale. When Blondie (Eastwood) and the treacherous Tuco (Eli Wallach) learn of a buried cache of Confederate gold, they are drawn into a desperate race against Angel Eyes (Van Cleef), a ruthless mercenary with his own code of honour. Set against the devastation of the American Civil War, their pursuit builds to one of cinema’s most iconic three-way standoffs.
