Film critic Scott Tobias leads this virtual seminar on Sergio Leone's epic western.


In the dying days of the Old West, a struggle to control water in a dusty desert town embroils three hard-bitten gunmen in an epic clash of greed, honor and revenge. Henry Fonda, Jason Robards, Charles Bronson, and Claudia Cardinale star in Sergio Leone's monumental masterpiece, which ranks among his most admired achievements and the greatest Westerns ever made.
