Blu-Ray DiscThe Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

It wasn’t really the first film of its kind, but the western all’Italiana – or “spaghetti Western” – was never the same again after Sergio Leone’s groundbreaking A Fistful of Dollars, starring Clint Eastwood in the classic role that made him an international icon.
A nameless stranger (Eastwood) rides into the Mexican border town of San Miguel and quickly finds himself in the middle of a bloody battle for power between two rival families, the Baxters and the Rojos. Cannily realising there’s money to be made from playing each side against the other, the Man with No Name soon finds himself caught in the crossfire as the body count escalates, his only chance of escape a standoff against the Rojos’ mercilessly cruel leader, Ramón (Gian Maria Volonté).
Leone’s clever and contemporary inversion of Western archetypes was not only the first entry in a much-beloved trilogy, but the director’s first collaboration with the brilliant composer Ennio Morricone. Now fully uncut and freshly restored in glorious 4K with an arsenal of new and old bonus material, the Man with No Name rides again like never before!
