The Dollars Trilogy Limited Edition 4K UHD

Arrow Video

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 standoff against the latter's merciless leader, Ramón (Gian Maria Volonté).

With For a Few Dollars More, Leone expanded the canvas of his mythic, feverish vision and refined his unmistakable signature. Two rival bounty killers (Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef) hunt the same target: the psychopathic bandit "El Indio" (Volonté). Forming an uneasy alliance, the pair infiltrate El Indio's gang... but as greed begets violence, the hunters become the hunted, leading to a final showdown in a circle of death.

Leone's 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 twisted 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, bringing Leone's grand sense of dramatic scale to its apotheosis.

Arrow Films is proud to present this landmark Western trilogy in the most comprehensive edition ever assembled, all meticulously restored in glorious 4K, with a wealth of new and archival bonus materials.
