Quick Answer

What is A Few Dollars for Django about?

A Few Dollars for Django is a 1966 Italian-Spanish crime drama western directed by León Klimovsky about a weary bounty hunter who tries to leave violence behind by taking up the sheriff's badge and restoring order to a troubled town.

Programmer's Pick

This is western redemption with a body count: expect bullet-scorched barbed wire, a battered conscience, and a little romance to go with your range wars. If you're here for conflicts involving mistaken sheriffs and a brooding antihero named Django, saddle up.
