The Italian western at its peak by the director of Django
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
As the Mexican Revolution rages, the city of San Bernardino has just fallen to the greedy and tyrannical General Mongo. Eager to seize a precious treasure held in a highly secure vault, he hires a Swedish arms dealer and a Mexican rebel to bring Professor Xantos, imprisoned in the United States, back to Mexico. This pacifist intellectual, Mongo's main opponent, is the only one who knows the combination to the vault…
Written and directed by the legendary Sergio Corbucci ( The Great Silence ), Compañeros achieves the remarkable feat of bringing together two of the biggest stars of the Italian Western, Franco Nero ( Django ) and Tomas Milian ( Colorado ), impeccable in their roles as mercenaries, brimming with sarcasm and underhanded tactics, opposite a Machiavellian and thunderous Jack Palance ( The Big Knife ). Set to an unforgettable score by Ennio Morricone, Compañeros , a picaresque farce brimming with twists and turns, is one of the filmmaker's greatest achievements, now available for the first time on Blu-ray™ in its complete cut!
