Sukiyaki Western: Django

Irgendwo im japanischen Binnenland vor vielleicht hundert Jahren streiten zwei erbittert verfeindete und schwer bewaffnete Parteien um die Macht in einem gottverlassenen Bergwerkstädtchen und ein mysteriösen Goldschatz. Da kommt ein Fremdling von erstaunlichen kämpferischen Fähigkeiten daher und bringt das Gleichgewicht des Schreckens aus der Balance. Beide Seiten versuchen, den Düstermann für sich zu gewinnen, doch der kocht lieber sein eigenes Süppchen und spielt die Feinde gegeneinander aus.

Several hundred years after the Battle of Dannoura, the Genji and Heike clans face off again in a poor mountain town with a buried treasure legend. A revolver-wielding stranger, a lone gunman, burdened with emotional scars and blessed with incredible skill, drifts into town and crosses paths with two warring clans who are both on the hunt for a hidden treasure in a remote western town. Knowing his services are valuable to either side, he offers himself to the clan who will offer up the largest share of the wealth. Yoshitsune commands his Genji gang in white while Kiyomori leads his Heike gang in red. Expectations collide as the key players wonder which gang the gunman will join. Dirty tricks, betrayal, desire and finally, love, get jumbled together, as the situation erupts into a showdown.
