Once Upon A Time In The West (DVD)

Morton, the power-hungry owner of a railroad company, hires Frank, a gunfighter without a conscience, to kill anyone who stands in the way of the completion of the railroad.

After Frank murders land owner Brett McBain, McBain's widow hires two killers of her own to protect her and gain revenge: a mysterious, harmonica-playing desperado and his rogue sidekick.

Using techniques previously unseen in the genre, Sergio Leone utilizes close-ups, color, and Ennio Morricone's trademark score to create a tense and somber meditation on death which is widely considered to be one of the best westerns in cinematic history.
