Plot: An arrogant Texas millionaire hires four adventurers to rescue his kidnapped wife from a notorious Mexican bandit.
Cast: Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Woody Strode, Robert Ryan, Jack Palance, Claudia Cardinale.
You could be mistaken for thinking this is just another search, find and rescue for money story but it's so much more. The characters are each interesting in their own right and the dynamic between them is...unpredictable, along with a plot that twists and turns but always makes sense and stays true to the characters. For me the whole film is a treat. It makes me laugh, shout, root for all the wrong people and has one of THE most brilliant last lines ever.
