Duck, You Sucker
“Two daredevils battle for a fortune in gold, and it will take an army to stop them!”
At the beginning of the 1913 Mexican Revolution, greedy bandit Juan Miranda and idealist John H. Mallory, an Irish Republican Army explosives expert on the lam from the British, fall in with a band of revolutionaries plotting to strike a national bank. When it turns out that the government has been using the bank as a hiding place for illegally detained political prisoners -- who are freed by the blast -- Miranda becomes a revolutionary hero against his will.
This spaghetti western delivers a raw, epic sweep of revolution and its human cost. It's a journey through a cynical world, where unlikely bonds form amidst explosive chaos and a melancholic undercurrent. A visually striking, emotionally resonant experience that feels both grand and intimately tragic.
