Sergio Corbucci crafted one of the most popular and widely imitated of the Italian "spaghetti westerns" of the 1960s with this violent but stylish action saga. A mysterious man named
Django (
Franco Nero) arrives in a Mexican border town dragging a small coffin behind him. When he attempts to save a woman who is being attacked by a group of bandits, he finds himself in the middle of a conflict between Mexican gangsters and racist Yankee thugs, with the innocent townspeople and a fortune in Mexican gold stuck somewhere in between. Django becomes a force to be reckoned with when it's discovered his coffin actually contains a Gatling gun.
Django proved so popular in Europe that over 30 sequels and follow-ups were produced, though
Franco Nero would not return to the role until 1987's
Django 2: Il Grande Ritorno (the only sequel endorsed by Corbucci}, which proved to be the last film in the series.
