Description of this Poster The Good The Bad and The Ugly
The film is known for Leone's use of long shots and close-ups, as well as his distinctive use of violence, tension and highly stylized shootouts. The plot revolves around three gunslingers who compete to find a fortune in a cache of Confederate gold buried in the violent chaos of the Civil War (specifically the Battle of Glorieta Pass of the New Mexico campaign in 1862), while participating in numerous battles, confrontations and duels along the way. 11] The film is the third collaboration between Leone and Clint Eastwood, and the second with Lee Van Cleef.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was billed as the third and final installment in the Dollars trilogy, following A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. The film was a financial success, grossing over $38 million at the worldwide box office, and is considered to have catapulted Eastwood into stardom. Due to the general disapproval of the spaghetti western genre at the time, the film's critical reception following its release was mixed, but it received critical acclaim afterward, becoming known as the "definitive spaghetti western".
In 1862, during the American Civil War, a mercenary known as "Angel Eyes" interrogates former Confederate soldier Stevens, whom Angel Eyes is assigned to kill, about Jackson, a fugitive who has robbed a cache of Confederate gold. Learning of Jackson's new alias, "Bill Carson", Angel Eyes kills Stevens and then his employer Baker so that he can find the gold himself. Bandit Tuco Ramirez is saved from bounty hunters by an unnamed drifter whom Tuco calls "Blondie". Blondie delivers Tuco to the local sheriff to collect his $2,000 bounty. As Tuco is about to be hanged, Blondie cuts Tuco's noose by pulling on it and freeing him. The two men escape on horseback and share the bounty. They repeat the process in other towns until Blondie tires of Tuco's complaints and abandons him in the desert.
Eager for revenge, and after a failed attempt with his gang, Tuco eventually catches up with Blondie and forces him across the desert until Blondie collapses from dehydration. A horse-drawn hospital ambulance arrives with several dead Confederate soldiers and a nearly dead Bill Carson, who promises Tuco $200,000 in Confederate gold, buried in a grave in Sad Hill Cemetery, in exchange for his help. When Tuco returns with water, Carson is dead and Blondie is slumped next to him, revealing that Carson has recovered and told him the name on the grave before dying. Tuco poses as a Confederate soldier and takes Blondie to recuperate on a nearby frontier mission. At the mission, Tuco reunites with his brother, Pablo, who left his family when Tuco was young to become a priest. Their meeting does not go well; they become hostile and engage in physical confrontation. Tuco and Blondie then leave the monastery.
The duo decides to pan for gold together. Tuco shouts pro-Confederate remarks to a group of soldiers, but they turn out to be members of a Union patrol, the blue color of their uniforms having been obscured by dust. Blondie and Tuco are taken to a prison camp that Angel Eyes infiltrated as a Union sergeant in his search for Bill Carson. Tuco poses as Carson and is taken in for questioning. Under torture, he reveals the name of the cemetery and is sent to hang. Knowing that Blondie will not reveal the name on the grave, Angel Eyes recruits him into her search. Tuco escapes his fate by killing Angel Eyes' henchman and soon finds himself in an evacuated town, where Blondie, Angel Eyes and his gang have also arrived.
Blondie finds Tuco and they both kill Angel Eyes' men, but the latter escapes. They head to Sad Hill before ending up on the Union side during a military siege on a strategic bridge. Blondie decides to destroy the bridge to disperse the two armies and allow access to the cemetery. As they pepper the bridge with explosives, Tuco offers to share information. Tuco reveals the name of the cemetery, while Blondie says the name on the grave is "Arch Stanton". After the bridge was demolished, the armies dispersed. Tuco steals a horse and goes to Sad Hill to take the gold. Tuco finds Arch Stanton's grave and begins digging, where Blondie encourages him at gunpoint to continue. Angel Eyes arrives and holds Blondie at gunpoint. Blondie states that he lied about the name on Stanton's grave and appears to write the grave's real name on a stone before challenging Tuco and Angel Eyes to a three-way duel.
The trio stares at each other. Everyone ends up shooting Blondie who kills Angel Eyes, while Tuco discovers that his gun was discharged by Blondie the night before. Blondie reveals that the gold is actually in the grave next to Arch Stanton's, marked "Unknown". Tuco is at first delighted to find bags of gold, but Blondie holds him at gunpoint and orders him to stand under a tree. Blondie ties Tuco's hands and forces him to stand on an unstable tombstone while he takes his half of the gold and rides away on horseback. As Tuco cries for mercy, Blondie comes into view. He breaks the rope with a gunshot, leaving Tuco alive to curse him furiously as Blondie disappears into the horizon.
