Summary: Set during the American Civil War, the story deals with three mean desperadoes who have their eyes on a 200,000 dollar treasure. Besides battling with the local authorities, they also have each other to contend with...

The culmination of Leone's renowned "Dollars" series of spaghetti westerns that includes A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964) and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (1965). Set during the Civil War, this wagonload of grit carries three desperados whose squinting eyes are fixed on a Confederate treasure. While dodging authorities, the Good (Eastwood) the Bad (Van Kleef) and the Ugly (Wallach) keep busy by stabbing each other firmly in the back hoping to beat the others to the gold. The climax comes with the gripping stand-off at the cemetery. A typical Leone picture with brooding vistas, leisurely langorous pacing, operatic violence and a haunting score from Morricone.

The Good , The Bad and The Ugly , written by Age - Scarpelli , Luciano Vincenzoni and Sergio Leone is the third and last western in Clint Eastwood's spaghetti trilogy . Director Sergio Leone substitutes for the upright puritan Protestant ethos , so familiar in
Hollywood westerns , a seedy cynical standpoint towards death and morality , as a team of brutal bandits battle to unearth a fortune buried beneath an unmarked grave . Joining Clint , clearly '' The Good'' , is the irredeemably '' Bad '' Eli Wallach and the resolutely
'' Ugly '' Lee Van Cleef . This complex plot of bloodshed and finally
betrayal winds its way to the ultimate climax .
