Compañeros

1970 · 120 min

A dusty, cynical buddy western that mixes brutal gunplay with wry comedy and a surprisingly earnest revolutionary streak.

Tagline
Fate brought them together, greed made them inseparable, and violence made them Compañeros!
Overview
Arms dealer Yolaf Peterson aims to make a sale to guerilla Mongo, but the money is locked in a bank safe, the combination known only to Professor Xantos, a prisoner of the Americans. Yolaf agrees to free Xantos, accompanied by reluctant guerilla Basco, but a former business partner of Yolaf's- John 'The Wooden Hand', has other ideas.
