Overview
While a Mexican revolutionary lies low as a U.S. rodeo clown, the cynical Polish mercenary who tutored the idealistic peasant tells how he and a dedicated female radical fought for the soul of the guerrilla general Paco, as Mexicans threw off repressive government and all-powerful landowners in the 1910s. Tracked by the vengeful Curly, Paco liberates villages, but is tempted by social banditry's treasures, which Kowalski revels in.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A cynical spaghetti western that traces the corruption of revolutionary ideals through the eyes of a mercenary more interested in profit than principle. It's a morally murky tale of how noble causes can be corroded by greed and personal ambition.
