A cynical gunfighter (Clint Eastwood) comes to a small border town and offers his services to two rival gangs. Neither is aware of his double play and each thinks they are the ones using him. The fast-paced action leads up to a finale of epic proportions. The commonly held first true ‘Spaghetti Western’ has all of what would be become Leone’s trademarks: a taciturn antihero, precise wide-angle framing, extreme close-ups and haunting music of Ennio Morricone.

The activists ignore the Union and go direct to the miners. They identify a mining village in deepest Wales and set off in a mini bus to make their donation in person. So begins the extraordinary story of two communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership.
