The Man With No Name
Clint Eastwood arrived in Italy as a TV actor and left as an international superstar. His collaboration with Sergio Leone in the "Dollars Trilogy" essentially invented the anti-hero archetype that would dominate action cinema for decades.
Minimalist acting, dry wit, and a distinct lack of moralizing defined his character. While his tenure in the genre was relatively brief, the impact of these films is immeasurable. This list focuses on the essential European westerns that built the legend of The Man With No Name.
The Man With No Name enters the Mexican village of San Miguel in the midst of a power struggle among the three Rojo brothers and sheriff John Baxter. When a regiment of Mexican soldiers bearing gold intended to pay for new weapons is waylaid by the Rojo brothers, the stranger inserts himself into the middle of the long-simmering battle, selling false information to both sides for his own benefit.
