Dollars Trilogy - Watch Order: Release Order
The Dollars Trilogy consists of three landmark Italian Westerns directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood as the enigmatic Man with No Name. These films revolutionized the Western genre with their distinctive visual style, Ennio Morricone's iconic scores, and morally ambiguous characters navigating worlds of greed and violence.
While not originally conceived as a connected series, the films work both as standalone stories and as a loose trilogy united by style and character. This release order presents the films as audiences first experienced them, allowing viewers to appreciate Leone's evolving mastery of the genre and Eastwood's development of his memorable gunslinger persona.
A Fistful of Dollars
The Man With No Name enters the Mexican village of San Miguel in the midst of a power struggle among the three Rojo brothers and sheriff John Baxter. When a regiment of Mexican soldiers bearing gold intended to pay for new weapons is waylaid by the Rojo brothers, the stranger inserts himself into the middle of the long-simmering battle, selling false information to both sides for his own benefit.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
While the Civil War rages on between the Union and the Confederacy, three men – a quiet loner, a ruthless hitman, and a Mexican bandit – comb the American Southwest in search of a strongbox containing $200,000 in stolen gold.
