A struggle to control water in a dusty desert town, a clash of greed, honor, and revenge. As the railroad builders advance unstoppably through the Arizona desert on their way to the sea, Jill, a former prostitute, arrives in the small town of Flagstone with the intention of starting a new life with her husband of one month and his three children. But she discovers that a band has murdered her new family, and she wants to know who did this and why. With a story created by Leone, Dario Agento, and Bernardo Bertolucci, Once Upon a Time in the West, is an epic western that re-defined the genre, with the unforgettable score by Ennio Morricone. Henry Fonda stars as Frank, a ruthless killer with no remorse. “Those who have never seen this amazing film in a theater now have an opportunity to redeem themselves” —Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out. Cinematheque patron Richard Petruska’s pick.
