Once Upon a Time in the West
Digital restoration of Sergio Leone’s epic masterpiece set on the western frontier during the race to build the first transcontinental railroad in America.
When an Irish landowner named McBain is slain in cold-blood by the malfeasant Frank, his widow discovers that his property was a key piece of real estate lying in the path of the great railroads’ trajectory. Frank had been hired by a rail tycoon who had his own plans for the area, but having framed the infamous bandit Cheyenne in the process, forged an unlikely alliance between the widow, Cheyenne and a mysterious harmonica-playing drifter.
Often referred to as one of the greatest films of all time, Leone reaches perfection with his most lavishly produced spaghetti-western. Ennio Morricone’s monumental score evokes the vastness of the wild west and the boundless possibilities of the new frontier.
