Sergio Leones The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is the legendary conclusion to the Dollars Trilogy, starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach. A Spaghetti Western epic of greed, betrayal, and shifting alliances during the Civil War, it combines iconic antiheroes, Ennio Morricones score, and operatic style to define the genre for generations.

With the two preceding films in his Dollars trilogy having unleashed a boom in Euro Western productions, Sergio Leone knew that his concluding chapter would have to top them all. Armed with his largest budget yet, Leone created what is, for many, the final word on the subject - a violent, picaresque epic presented with operatic scope and intensity, with Clint Eastwood donning the iconic hat and poncho one last time.

A partnership between two scoundrels, Blondie (Eastwood) and Tuco (Eli Wallach) goes awry, only for fate to intervene in the form of information about a cache of stolen Confederate gold buried in a graveyard. Each possessing a different clue to its location, the pair are forced into a distrustful partnership. However, the gold is also sought by Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef), a ruthless mercenary with his own twisted code of honour. Thus begins a desperate pursuit amidst the mass destruction and absurdity of the American Civil War, culminating in an iconic three-way standoff inside the graveyard.

Mythic, cynical and endlessly entertaining, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly brings Leones grand sense of dramatic scale to its apotheosis. Arrow Films is proud to present this landmark Western in the most comprehensive edition ever assembled, featuring both cuts of the film meticulously restored in glorious 4K, and a wealth of new and archival bonus materials.
