Today is very special day for my blog as it's gonna celebrate first happy birthday. I dont want to waste this wonderful occassion so I cameup with the superduper hit and critically praised movie which as per IMDB(Internet Movie DataBase) stood at Top 4 movie in Top 100 movies of all time list. No doubt this movie is worth of it, released in 1967 this movie gave a new meaning to heroism and technicalities for a movie. And no need to even inform about Background score, the typical cowboy background music started from this movie. Lets start rolling reels....
Three unnamed bounty hunters ambush Tuco in the restaurant of a desolate ghost town, before Tuco successfully shoots his way to freedom. Later, presumably miles away, Angel Eyes, employed by Baker, a bed-ridden former Confederate soldier, arrives at a distant farm to interrogate Stevens, a farmer and former soldier, regarding information about a missing man named Jackson. Stevens, Baker and Jackson were all previously involved in a scheme regarding stolen Confederate gold, with only Jackson knowing its current location. After finally revealing Jackson's alias as Bill Carson, Stevens offers Angel Eyes money to shoot Baker. Angel Eyes accepts the contract, but he always finish his jobs and therefore kills Stevens. Later, in the dead of night, Angel Eyes approaches Baker in his bed and reports everything he knows about Carson and the hidden Confederate gold. He then slides a pillow over Baker's face and murders him.
Meanwhile, Tuco's journey across an empty desert inadvertently wanders into the rifle sights of three bounty hunters, who knock him off his horse and apprehend him. They are subsequently approached by Blondie, a mysterious lone gunman who challenges all three to a draw, which he wins with lightning speed. Tuco, appreciative of the stranger's assistance, is dismayed to learn that Blondie simply wants to deliver Tuco to the local authorities for the reward money himself.
Hours later, Tuco sits atop a horse, hands bound and a noose around his neck. As the authorities prepare to execute him, Blondie appears from the rafters of a barn and shoots the noose rope, allowing Tuco a quick escape. The two later meet at a secret location to split the reward money, revealing their secret partnership and lucrative money-making scheme. Although Tuco balks at only being offered half of the reward money when he obviously harbors most of the risk, he reluctantly agrees to the current split percentage.
Other day the same scene contineous... Blondie fires just as Tuco's execution is carried out, but needs two shots to sever the rope. After their escape, Tuco is furious, spitting ominous warnings to Blondie as they stop at a desolate patch of desert. Blondie, annoyed and weary of Tuco's consistent complaints and harsh attitude, abandons Tuco in the desert without a horse or water while keeping the reward money for himself.
Angel Eyes follow clues leading him across the Western frontier, in the footprints of Confederate and Union soldiers alike, gradually closing the distance between himself and Bill Carson. Tuco survives the 70-mile trip back to civilization. After missing first time to kill Blondie he relentlessly tracks Blondie through the frontier, ambushing him in the middle of another catch-and-release scheme arranged with another criminal, currently awaiting execution. After forcing Blondie to let the criminal die, Tuco travels through the harsh desert, dragging Blondie along without a hat or water. After Blondie collapses from exhaustion and dehydration, Tuco prepares to kill him when he sees a runaway horse carriage approach on the horizon. He stops the carriage and discovers a small group of dead Confederates inside. While searching the bodies, he encounters a survivor, Bill Carson, who reveals the existence of stolen Confederate gold worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in a grave in Sad Hill cemetery. Carson falls unconscious from dehydration before giving the name on the grave, and Tuco runs to his horse to find water. When he returns, Carson is dead, and Blondie lies slumped against the side of the carriage. Just as Tuco is about to kill Blondie, he reveals that he knows the name of the grave, shortly before passing out.
Dressed in the uniforms of the dead Confederate soldiers, Tuco takes a nearly-dead Blondie to a local Catholic mission run by his brother, Father Pablo Ramirez, a Franciscan friar. While Blondie recovers, Tuco and his brother (Luigi Pistilli) confront each other about the mistakes each has made in life. After Blondie's recovery, the two leave the mission, impersonating Confederate soldiers. Days into their journey, they notice a group of Confederates approaching on the horizon. To Blondie's distress, Tuco calls out, praising Confederate generals and admonishing the Union cause, before realizing the soldiers are really Union soldiers with dusty uniforms. The Union forces capture Blondie and Tuco as prisoners of war, and the two are led to a Union prison camp.
At the camp, Corporal Wallace initiates a roll call, and Tuco answers for Bill Carson, catching the attention of Angel Eyes, a Union Sergeant stationed at the camp. Tuco and Angel Eyes recognize each other, and Angel Eyes arranges for a private meeting and lunch between the two. Corporal Wallace ambushes Tuco and tortures him. Tuco reveals everything he knows about Sad Hill Cemetery, but confesses that only Blondie knows the name on the grave.
Blondie is shown into the same room where Tuco was tortured and meets Angel Eyes, who proposes an equal partnership in recovering the Confederate gold. Blondie agrees and rides out with Angel Eyes and his posse. Tuco meanwhile, is escorted aboard a train by Corporal Wallace, to be executed at a different location. During the journey, Tuco escapes from the train.
Meanwhile, Blondie, Angel Eyes and his posse ride into a war-ravaged town, filled with hollowed-out buildings and bomb craters. They stop to rest and wait for the Union Army to march through. Across town, a healed Tuco aimlessly wanders through the wreckage, oblivious to the bounty hunter (Al Mulock) tracking him. The bounty hunter, a survivor of the shootout from the beginning of the film, ambushes Tuco in the middle of a bath. The bounty hunter, relishing his good fortune, fails to notice the gun Tuco conceals beneath the bathwater, which Tuco uses to kill him. Blocks away, Blondie hears the gunshots and leaves to investigate. Angel Eyes sends one of his men to follow Blondie, who later ambushes the henchman and shoots him. Blondie tracks down Tuco and informs him about Angel Eyes's involvement. Tuco offers to team up with Blondie and renew their old partnership. Together, they skulk through the wrecked town, killing Angel Eyes' henchmen one at a time, only to discover that Angel Eyes has long since escaped.
Tuco and Blondie ride further into the frontier, tracking down the Sad Hill Cemetery. After dismounting and walking through wilderness, they are ambushed by a team of Union soldiers, who disarm and deliver them to the ranking Union Captain. A great battle is brewing, Union soldiers on one side and the Confederates on the other, separated only by a lake and a narrow bridge, itself the objective of the battle, although one of questionable strategic value. As the battle starts and thousands of soldiers charge each other over the roar of mortar and gunfire, Blondie and Tuco, disguised as medics, transport a crate of dynamite to the bridge and wire it to explode. Acknowledging that either could die at a moment's notice, they trade information regarding the Confederate gold. Tuco reveals it's buried in Sad Hill Cemetery, while Blondie says it's buried in a grave marked Arch Stanton. The two detonate the bridge, and take cover in a alcove while the two sides angrily resume their battle.
The next morning, all is silent. Both the Confederate and Union soldiers have disappeared, and Tuco and Blondie stumble across an empty battlefield to the Confederates' abandoned post. While Blondie observes and comforts a dying Confederate soldier, Tuco steals a horse and abandons Blondie to dig up the gold for himself, finally stumbling upon the sprawling Sad Hill Cemetery, filled with thousands of graves.
Will Tuco find the grave with gold in it or will Blondie does.....what happens to Angel Eyes....actually is there gold in the grave or something else....to know this thrilling scenes you have to bring these 3 guys to your home, I mean The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
As per vish: All western movies need certain mood to watch them(this maight be my perception)as there are filled with gunshots and long scenes. Even this movie too runs almost 2:45 min so only when you have that much of patience and time watch this one. This movie has some comic relief in the form of Tuco's character.
Cast: Clint Eastwood as Blondie, Lee Van Cleef as Angel Eyes, Eli Wallach as Tuco.
