A Fistful of Dollars 4K Blu-ray Arrives April 21
Experience Sergio Leone's iconic spaghetti Western in stunning 4K with exclusive features.
A Fistful of Dollars - the trailblazing film by Sergio Leone - will be available on 4K Blu-ray on April 21. This release marks the stunning revival of the classic spaghetti Western that transformed cinema, starring Clint Eastwood in the compelling role of the Man with No Name.
The film dives into a tale where a mysterious stranger enters a conflict-ridden town and cunningly plays two rival families, the Baxters and the Rojos, against each other for personal gain. With Ennio Morricone's memorable score setting the tone, the film's body count escalates, leading to an intense showdown with the Rojos' ruthless leader, Ramón.
This highly anticipated launch offers a comprehensive experience, thanks to a new 4K restoration from the original 2-perf Techniscope negative. Cinephiles will appreciate the enhanced visuals through the Dolby Vision/HDR presentation and multiple audio options, including newly restored English and Italian mono tracks.
Moreover, fans will enjoy audio commentaries by film historians like Sir Christopher Frayling and enthralling interviews—notably with co-star Marianne Koch and insights from musician Lovely Jon on Morricone's timeless soundtrack.
