Why tonight?

  • A long one. Start it early, and give it the whole evening.
  • It goes hard on violence — not a wind-down.
  • One of the best-reviewed films Cue holds.

The story

While the Civil War rages on between the Union and the Confederacy, three men – a quiet loner, a ruthless hitman, and a Mexican bandit – comb the American Southwest in search of a strongbox containing $200,000 in stolen gold.
