A Fistful of Dollars (DVD), MGM (Video & DVD), Western

Clint Eastwood's legendary "Man With No Name" makes his powerful debut in this thrilling; action-packed "new breed of western" (Motion Picture Herald) from the acclaimed director of The Good; the Bad and the Ugly and For a Few Dollars More. Exploding with blistering shootouts; dynamic performances and atmospheric cinematography; it's an undisputed classic of the genre. A mysterious gunman (Eastwood) has just arrived in San Miguel; a grim; dusty border town where two rival bands of smugglers are terrorizing the impoverished citizens. A master of the "quick-draw;" the stranger soon receives offers of employment from each gang. But his loyalty cannot be bought; he accepts both jobs...and sets in motion a plan to destroy both groups of criminals; pitting one against the other in a series of brilliantly orchestrated setups; showdowns and deadly confrontations.
