Django

Django is a Western set along the border between the United States and Mexico, where two armed groups have long been fighting: a band of hooded racists led by Major Jackson and a group of Mexican revolutionaries under General Hugo Rodriguez. Into this contested ground comes Django, a former soldier dragging a coffin behind him. He arrives at a nearly abandoned village seeking revenge and gold, and he plays the two sides against each other in pursuit of a new life.

Sergio Corbucci directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Bruno Corbucci; Manolo Bolognini and Corbucci produced. The film is the third of the fourteen features Corbucci directed, following Lo smemorato di Collegno and preceding Navajo Joe, both from the 1960s. Franco Nero plays Django, with José Bódalo as General Hugo Rodriguez, Loredana Nusciak as Maria, Ángel Álvarez as Nathaniel, Gino Pernice as Brother Jonathan and Simón Arriaga as Miguel. Thirty-two cast members and forty crew members are credited.

Released in 1966, the film runs 92 minutes and was made in Spain and Italy by Tecisa Film and B.R.C. Produzione Film. On IMDb it holds a rating of 7.2 out of 10 from around 34,000 votes, and on TMDB it also rates 7.2 out of 10, from roughly 1,000 votes. A critics' rating of 8 out of 10 from seventeen reviews places it somewhat above those audience scores.
