Sergio Leone’s A Fistful Of Dynamite (AKA Duck You Sucker!) is coming to Blu-ray for the first time in the UK as part of Eureka Entertainment’s The Masters of Cinema Series.

Released on 25 November 2019, the film will be come with a Limited Edition 60-page Collector’s Book, Hardbound Slipcase and a host of on-disc extras.

Pre-order from Amazon.co.uk*

Starring Rod Steiger (In the Heat of the Night) as Juan Miranda, an amoral peasant-turned-outlaw, and James Coburn (Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) as John Mallory, a dynamite-tossing Irish revolutionary who has fled to Mexico after becoming a fugitive in his own country.

Together, they’re a devilishly volatile mix of anti-establishment philosophies and violent tendencies as they attempt to liberate political prisoners, defend their compatriots against a well-equipped militia, and risk their lives on a train filled with explosives.

Featuring a haunting and rousing score by iconic composer Ennio Morricone, A Fistful of Dynamite has risen in stature over the years and is now recognised alongside The Dollars Trilogy and Once Upon A Time in the West as a true masterpiece.
