Once Upon a Time in the West
Avg rating 8.7 / My rating TBC

- Spaghetti Western
- Historical Epic
- Auteur Cinema
A railroad is pushing across the Arizona desert, and a patch of dry land with the only water for miles has become worth killing for. A widow from the East, a hired gunman, a bandit and a mysterious stranger with a harmonica converge on it. Slow, operatic and deliberately mythic in tone.
