A Fistful of Dollars
The Man With No Name enters the Mexican village of San Miguel in the midst of a power struggle among the three Rojo brothers and sheriff John Baxter. When a regiment of Mexican soldiers bearing gold intended to pay for new weapons is waylaid by the Rojo brothers, the stranger inserts himself into the middle of the long-simmering battle, selling false information to both sides for his own benefit.

"A Fistful of Dollars" thrives on sparse dialogue and abundant action, building tension to its climactic conclusion. Clint Eastwood's portrayal of the anti-hero, governed by his ethics rather than the conventional heroic virtues, set the stage for his ascent to stardom. This character archetype grew to be synonymous with Eastwood.
