Keoma (Nero) returns back to his home town to find his brothers have sided with an outlaw, and with the help of his father, a family friend he vows revenge. Keoma also saves a dying woman froma mine full of plague victims.

[edit] notes

Franco Nero is a major western star, akin to John Wayne, George Eastman and Clint Eastwood.
Its scenes of slow motion, gun fights, an anti hero and musical soundtrack place it at the top end of the western genre.
It follows the plot line of Django which many westerns did.
