There’s something about treasure hunting movies that just hits differently. Maybe it’s the dusty maps, ancient traps, or the characters who clearly have no plan but still survive it all. These movies have it all, booby traps, secret caves, double-crossing sidekicks, and the occasional cursed artifact. Some go full Indiana Jones mode, while others mix in comedy, mystery, or even a little romance, because why not fall in love while dodging death?

The best ones make you feel like you’re right there, sneaking through jungles or deciphering clues on a centuries-old scroll. And let’s not forget the over-the-top villains who always monologue too long. Whether it’s gold, lost cities, or something weirdly glowing in a box, treasure movies serve drama, chaos, and adventure in one messy, glorious ride.

So, grab your (pretend) fedora and scroll through this list of the best treasure-hunting flicks to ever grace our screens.

Fans already know Sergio Leone is the father of the "Spaghetti Western" and has had a significant impact on cinema. There will truly be no greater masterpiece in the sub-genre than The Good, The Bad and the Ugly or a more masterful body of work than the Dollars Trilogy. Leone shaped the direction of Westerns worldwide in the '60s and then continued to prove he was one of the greatest auteurs of all time throughout the rest of his career. He's usually the only Sergio fans think of when they think of Spaghetti Westerns. However, there was another Sergio who had just as big an impact on the sub-genre. In fact, Sergio Corbucci made more Spaghetti Westerns in his career than Sergio Leone.

Perhaps his most iconic film is the 1966 film Django, which got mainstream publicity after Quentin Tarantino's 2012 film Django Unchained. However, Corbucci made several great Spaghetti...

It's no accident that when you envision Clint Eastwood in his most iconic roles, it's often accompanied by a cowboy hat and the scowl that made him one of our great movie stars. He's had a prolific career across just about every genre from action movies ("Dirty Harry") to psychological thrillers ("Play Misty For Me") and even romance dramas ("The Bridges of Madison County"). But let's face it, the man has a face that was born to star in westerns.

Eastwood's hail mary casting on the western television show "Rawhide," which he describes as a fluke, opened the door for more opportunities in the industry. He didn't take many roles across his impressive eight season stretch as cattle poker Rowdy Yates, but it didn't matter because the one he did secure led to the birth of one of his most recognizable characters and some of the best spaghetti westerns ever made.

The Western genre of cinema has, since its origin during the earliest days of American cinema, played a vital role in exploring the history and mythology of the United States. Centered around the rough and rugged American frontier of the nineteenth century, these films have had a profound influence on American culture, establishing some of cinema's best tropes and archetypes. Often centered around gunslingers and lawmen, the genre has produced many great movies.

Westerns, like any genre, owe their success to some influential and transformational films, some so captivating that their success lifted the genre for a new generation. Ranging from tales of frontier justice in a lawless land to the rebellion of outlaws against corruption, these films continue to be some of the strongest in cinema. Some Westerns continue to have their impact felt today, and their significance cannot be denied.

With each film hailed as three of the best spaghetti Westerns to ever be produced in the genre, Italian director Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy not only popularized the subgenre due to impressive filmmaking and characters, but it also redefined the entire Western genre for moviegoers. Consisting of 1964’s A Fistful of Dollars, 1965’s For a Few Dollars More, and 1966’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, all three films offer an exciting narrative that grips viewers.

At the same time, The Dollars Trilogy constructs tales that range in stakes and whether crafting a revenge plot, a traditional hero vs. villain narrative, or an epic spectacle-filled ride, the storytelling in each film engages audiences throughout. Additionally, every film utilizes exciting fights to heighten the violence.

A spaghetti western is defined as a low-budget Western film created by European directors, and for the most part, they were primarily produced in Italy during the 1960s. In addition to a long list of different filming techniques, spaghetti Westerns were unique in the fact that they often focused on the negative aspects of Westerns, such as the corruption and violence at the center of many of it its stories.

As many Western fans are likely aware, Clint Eastwood famously starred in three spaghetti westerns: A Fistful of Dollars in 1964, The Good, the Bad and The Ugly in 1966, and For a Few Dollars More in 1965. Though he is considered a figurehead within the genre of Spaghetti Westerns, there are a wide variety of Spaghetti Westerns that are just as fantastical but do not star Eastwood.

After a period of relative dormancy in the 21st century, the Western genre has exploded in recent years. Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone helped to reignite a passion for a genre that has fallen short of matching the superhero blockbusters and fantasy TV shows that ruled the 2010s. Aside from Django Unchained (2012), True Grit (2010), The Hateful Eight (2015), and a few odd others, Westerns simply failed to break into the public consciousness. Yellowstone broke that trend, as its 2018 premiere helped to launch the show into an empire. There are now several spin-offs airing and several more in development.

Yet, as beloved as the Yellowstone universe is, it comes nowhere close to matching previous genre greats. The Golden Age of Hollywood produced thrilling Westerns that were popular enough to dominate the industry as a whole. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly...

Whether it’s a drama or a gritty Western, he brings something fresh and compelling every time.

AMC Networks’ Shudder has bought “Reflection in a Dead Diamond,” Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s supernatural crime film, ahead of its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.

The Shudder acquisition deal covers North America, the U.K. and Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, with plans to release the film exclusively on the streamer in 2025.

“Reflection in a Dead Diamond” takes place following the disappearance of a mysterious woman, as a debonair 70-year-old ex-spy living in a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur gets “confronted by the demons and darlings of a lurid past in which moviemaking, memories and madness collide,” reads the synopsis.

The Gold Rush of 1849 caused thousands of people to flee the Eastern part of the United States and head west to seek easy money, dug up out of the ground. A lot of the lands Americans were infiltrating weren't being overseen by any kind of widely recognized law, and the boomtowns that hastily formed kind of had to make up their infrastructure as they went along. A whole new world formed: the Wild West. 

American writers of fiction were telling tales of the "Great American Frontier" as early as the 1820s (some bibliophiles may be familiar with the works of James Fenimore Cooper), but the Western literary genre began to explode in the late 1850s and 1860s. Pulp novels began to proliferate across the country, and the "penny dreadfuls" invented a lot of the icons and trappings we see in Westerns to this day: gunslingers, bounty hunters, lawmen, etc. Real-life...

Clint Eastwood is a Hollywood legend and is renowned for giving iconic performances in films across genres. His career has spanned decades, and his Western movies solidified him as the ultimate gunslinger. Eastwood in Dirty Harry as the hard-nosed and rule-breaking cop was something that the audience wanted more of.

But in an industry of remakes and reboots, the actor has left his old gems untouched. If he were to make another part of the film and come out of retirement to revive his old character, it would have certainly been a hit! So what’s holding him back? Let’s hear it from Eastwood himself.

Why Clint Eastwood doesn’t want Dirty Harry to come back Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry | The Malpaso Company

In a 2005 interview with Tony Macklin for Bright Lights Film Journal, Clint Eastwood...

In 1967, Clint Eastwood's career took off overnight with the U.S. theatrical releases of "A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." This trilogy of newfangled Spaghetti Westerns directed by the brilliant Sergio Leone transformed Eastwood from a TV cowboy (as Rowdy Yates on CBS' "Rawhide") to a gunslinging antihero. The genre was reborn, and Eastwood was suddenly John Wayne for the Baby Boomer generation. He expanded his range and bolstered his popularity the following year by genre-hopping from Western "Hang 'Em High" to cop flick "Coogan's Bluff" to World War II spy thriller "Where Eagles Dare." By the time 1969 rolled around, he could do just about anything — and he did the unexpected.

Though musicals and traditional Westerns were declining in popularity, Paramount thought it could give them both a jolt by mounting a big-screen adaptation of the popular Alan Jay Lerner...

The Western genre has been defined by a long list of iconic movies, from Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo to Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. One of the most enduring and popular movies of the genre, Tombstone, assembled one of the best '90s casts for a great project, one made memorable by its quotable script. Bringing action and revenge to the Old West like few movies before, it's practically synonymous with blockbuster Westerns.

Tombstone tells the story of the Earp brothers, a group of lawmen who take on the roles of US Marshals in Tombstone, Arizona. There, they cross paths with the violent Cochise County Cowboys, whose tactics of fear and intimidation make them almost untouchable. While the movie has an iconic and recognizable line-up of leading actors, from Kurt Russell to Sam Elliott, other stars haven't been as closely associated with the movie in the years since.

Clint Eastwood's character, the Man with No Name, is one of the most iconic movie characters of all time, appearing in all three films in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. Released in the mid-'60s, the trilogy consists of A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and are among some of the best Westerns ever made. Each movie in the trilogy is a staple of the spaghetti Western genre, and arguably the best films in Clint Eastwood's career.

Though it is considered a trilogy, each film is loosely connected, with Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name being essentially the same character in all of them. Eastwood wasn't the only actor to have a role in more than one film in The Dollars Trilogy, as Sergio Leone reused several others throughout all three movies, understanding the talent he had on hand.

Clint Eastwood's Best Picture-winning Western is getting a new streaming home. Since the 1960s, the American icon has been widely associated with the Western genre. He rose to fame for his roles as the ramrod Rowdy Yates in the Western television series Rawhide and the bounty hunter, the Man with No Name, in director Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy of spaghetti Westerns, which includes A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Eastwood capped off the 1960s with the Westerns Hang 'Em High, which was his first starring role in an American movie, and the musical Paint Your Wagon. During the 1970s, Eastwood starred in Two Mules for Sister Sara and Joe Kidd before he began directing his own Westerns in addition to starring, starting with High Plains Drifter and followed by The Outlaw Josey Wales and Pale Rider. In 1992, Eastwood made Unforgiven,...

Thanks in large part to Lee Van Cleef, Death Rides A Horse makes for the perfect viewing experience after Clint Eastwood's The Man With No Name trilogy. Although The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is generally considered the quintessential Clint Eastwood Western, it's far more than just a vehicle for the actor. As indicated by its title, it's really a movie driven by a trio of stars, not just Eastwood. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly wouldn't have worked without the compelling performances offered by Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. The latter is similarly vital to For a Few Dollars More as well.

The IMDb top-250 is a curious portrait of populist taste. The list is, it's worth remembering, culled only from user ratings on the IMDb website, and, judging by the films on the list, the average IMDb user seems to be a college-age white male with a taste for crime, guns, fantasy, and the ultra-masculine. The top movies on the list all seem to be the types of movies that young men would own posters for, proudly displayed on their dorm room walls. There are many unassailable classics, to be sure, and young teens could easily look to the list as a rudimentary introduction to the world of cinema, but the list seems ... skewed. There's not a lot of variety. It's not curated by a single critic, nor even a panel of critics. It's just a general consensus of the taste of the types of people who like to rate movies on IMDb.

Clint Eastwood owes his career to Westerns. He became a familiar face to American television viewers between 1959 and 1965 as the ramrod Rowdy Yates in the popular CBS series "Rawhide" before venturing off to Spain, where, with Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone, he helped turn the genre on its ear with the Spaghetti Western trilogy of "A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More," and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." From that point forward, Eastwood in any kind of Western was a big deal at the box office, which was especially impressive considering that oaters were declining in popularity throughout the 1960s and into the '70s.

Ultimately, even Eastwood couldn't keep the genre afloat. After an impressive run that included "Hang 'Em High," "Two Mules for Sister Sara," "High Plains Drifter," and "The Outlaw Josey Wales," the star only made one proper Western in the 1980s ("Pale Rider...

In the late 1960s, Paramount Pictures was getting a young-gun makeover with upstart producer Robert Evans taking the reins of the struggling studio. With the New Hollywood movement exploding thanks to provocations like "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Easy Rider," Evans was keen to hire exciting young filmmakers to apply their unique talents to the day's bestsellers. When he hit critical and commercial paydirt with Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby," he turned his attention to another hot novel owned by the studio, one that had the potential to revitalize the gangster film.

Author Mario Puzo hadn't even finished "The Godfather" when Paramount executive Peter Bart offered him $115,000 for the manuscript. His instincts proved spot-on. Within two years of its 1969 publication, "The Godfather" had become a phenomenon, selling in the neighborhood of nine million copies. A feature film adaptation was inevitable. All Evans and Bart had to do was find the right...

Throughout movie history, there have been some iconic rivalries between actors that have kept audiences intrigued. Some of the best movies of all time featured cast members who clashed behind the scenes, but a few of these feuds were so heightened that they continued long after the cameras stopped rolling. These wild disputes happened for a range of reasons, whether that be a professional qualm, or something dramatic off-screen in their personal lives.

While there were plenty of shocking TV feuds for viewers to invest in, there have been just as many rivalries created in the movie industry. The pressure of working on long and harrowing shoots, working with a wide range of people from different backgrounds, and producing a good performance often made actors fight with one another. There have been several fascinating rivalries between movie actors over the years, but some were more prominent than others.

After a long and storied career, James Gunn has become an iconic and well-regarded name in Hollywood. He began his career as a writer and associate director for the black comedy Tromeo and Juliet in 1996, but his career has taken surprising turns. The acclaimed director went on to write for 2002's Scooby-Doo, direct and write for 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy, and produce 2019's Brightburn. Popular franchises are central to his storied career, largely because nearly everything he touches becomes popular.

Among the most acclaimed westerns to ever hit the silver screen, Sergio Leone’s 1966 Italian epic spaghetti western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly displays ingenious filmmaking, brilliant storytelling and terrific performances. Hailed for its effective action and vast scope of the Old West, the film manages to craft a tale of battling gunslingers seeking hidden gold all while set during the American Civil War and always keeps the audience engaged. With the sheer amount of unforgettable moments throughout the film, viewers often forget that all films have scenes that get left on the cutting room floor, including The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

With a master like Sergio Leone, the film still maintains its integral structure and never misses a beat in entertaining the masses, although The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’s few deleted scenes help flesh out the narrative even further. Spread out before...

The Western genre as people know it today owes everything to Sergio Leone's movies. Despite Leone's works being nearly half a century old as of this writing, the filmmaker's influence can still be felt in just about every facet of the cinematic cowboy and those who followed in their footsteps. No other movie of his represents his irreplaceable contributions to cinema the way Once Upon a Time in the West does.

The movie is a cinematic masterpiece, even if it's somewhat underrated in the zeitgeist if only because it was made in the shadow of Leone's legendary trifecta of Clint Eastwood movies. Even so, Leone's epic Spaghetti Western forever changed the Wild West and its resident gunslingers. Believe it or not, Once Upon a Time in the West accomplished this in its opening minutes with nary a spoken word of dialogue.

Clint Eastwood is a lot of people’s favorite, if not everyone’s, and it’s not just because of his outstanding charms as an actor-cum-director. For decades, the films he has starred in and helmed have left an indelible mark on his audiences, going down as either some of the finest pieces in history or some really controversial ones; but it’s not like the 94-year-old really cares.

That said, while his excellent skills as one of the most legendary veterans in Hollywood are one to appease his audiences, what further leaves his fans in awe of him is his “I don’t care” attitude.

The comic book version of "The Boys" ran for 72 issues, but as issue numbering can often be, this is misleading. Writer Garth Ennis also penned three six-issue "The Boys" mini-series that are essential parts of the story: "Herogasm," "Highland Laddie," and "Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker." Counting these and the 2020 epilogue mini-series "Dear Becky," "The Boys" is really 98 issues.

When "The Boys" was collected as trade paperbacks, these miniseries were included as if they were part of the series' main run.

"Herogasm" is a business as usual arc of the Boys infiltrating a Supe orgy. ("Herogasm" later became one of the best episodes of the "Boys" TV series.) "Highland Laddie," meanwhile, is about Hughie taking a break from Supe-hunting and going back to Scotland, whereas "Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker" finally fills in the backstory of antihero Billy Butcher.

Quentin Tarantino, best known for his supporting turn in "Destiny Turns on the Radio," has never been shy about his taste in movies. Tarantino has long been drawn to aggressively masculine genre films, Westerns, war pictures, martial arts films, and anything one might have seen at a run-down grindhouse theater in 1977. He also likes very terse, tense movies, and has listed Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver," William Friedkin's "Sorcerer," and Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" as his favorites. He's likewise admitted to having fond feelings for "The Great Escape" (who doesn't?) and thinks very highly of Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk."

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly's script is terse, but it also includes quite a few great lines of dialogue, ranging from the humorous to the profound.

Credit has to be given to the screenplay team of Luciano Vincenzoni, Sergio Donati, and Furio Scapelli. The starring duo of Clint Eastwood (Blondie aka The Good) and Eli Wallach (Tuco aka The Ugly) also outdid themselves with their deliveries as the juiciest quotes are from conversations between these two. The dialogue and chemistry between the central characters are part of...

To most audiences, Clint Eastwood is the movie cowboy. Eastwood is so synonymous with the Western, especially its deconstructive Spaghetti Western phase, that it's impossible for some to see him as anything but a cold gunslinger. While he'll always be The Man With No Name, Eastwood was such a once-in-a-lifetime movie star that he also left an irreplaceable mark on the wider action genre's most famous niches. Cases in point: Dirty Harry for cop movies, and Where Eagles Dare for World War II movies. Not only is Where Eagles Dare one of Eastwood's best military-themed movies, but it's also one of the best World War II movies ever made.

That said, one of the biggest misconceptions about Where Eagles Dare is that it's a typical Eastwood movie. Although he's one of the movie's biggest names and one of its most important characters, it was anything but a solo vehicle in...

In the early 1960s, an Italian auteur, inspired by a Japanese legend, cast an American star in what would become one of the greatest Westerns of all time. As Clint Eastwood put it, the film about a Mexican gang war was “an Italian-German-Spanish co-production of a remake of a Japanese film in the plains of Spain.”

Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars was a layered narrative in terms of production and behind-the-scenes development. As a story, it was quite simply a Western that redefined Westerns for generations to come. However, for Clint Eastwood, the Dollars trilogy was the stepping stone to a 70-year-long career in Hollywood that was more illustrious and enduring than any other actor originating from the Golden Era of the film industry.

The year was 1963, and Clint Eastwood was tired of playing a Western hero. As Rowdy Yates on CBS' "Rawhide," he was stuck in a flavorless rut of white-hat derring-do, herding cattle and being an altogether swell guy while contending with stock genre villains. There was a future in this, yes, but it would require Eastwood to play the same note over and over until he became a lasso-wielding self-parody.

So, when he wrapped his fifth season of "Rawhide," he accepted an offer to make a big screen Western with a promising Italian director in Spain. That film was "A Fistful of Dollars," and all it did was launch the "Spaghetti Western" trend, which, along with the revisionist American works of Sam Peckinpah, extended the popularity of the genre for a solid decade.

"A Fistful of Dollars" was not, on the surface,...

60 years ago this September, Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name stepped on screen for the first time in Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of Dollars." It would be a few more years until the low-budget Spaghetti Western made it to America, but the actor's star power and the director's talents were instantly recognizable for early adopters – even if critics took longer to get on board. By the time Leone had released two more Eastwood-led films, rounding out what became known as the Dollars Trilogy, Eastwood's narrowed eyes and steely attitude had become a fundamental image of the movie cowboy.

The Dollars trilogy, which continued with "For A Few Dollars More" and concluded in 1966 with "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly," is now celebrated as one of the best on-screen Western sagas of all time. The genre would...

Quick Links Not Just Any Actor Can Play The Man With No Name Who is Actor Aaron Pierre? Why Aaron Pierre Is The Perfect To Remake A Fistful of Dollars

It's not all too often that a remake of a classic film manages to live up to what made the original so memorable. Even though it's recently been announced that the classic Sergio Leone Western, A Fistful of Dollars, is set to receive a remake of its own, it's understandable why it may be difficult for some to imagine that it would even come close to capturing a fraction of the spirit of the original. When it comes to remakes, two essential elements can either make or break its quality: its director and its star. While neither of these things have been announced yet, it can still be fun to speculate who may suit the bill. While it was Clint Eastwood...

Clint Eastwood's Hollywood career officially began in 1955 when he made a brief, uncredited appearance as a lab technician in Jack Arnold's "Revenge of the Creature." Nine years later, unhappy as a midlevel television star on the CBS Western series "Rawhide," he jetted off to Spain to make a different kind of Western with a very different kind of director named Sergio Leone. The result, "A Fistful of Dollars," changed the face of the genre forever, and set Eastwood down the path to becoming a filmmaker in his own right.

Eastwood's directing career got off to a curiously assured start with the wildly suspenseful thriller "Play Misty for Me," in which the tough, swaggering star of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Dirty Harry" played a victimized Bay Area disc jockey. No one expected this from Eastwood, and it's fair to say no one saw this hugely...

Writer and director Quentin Tarantino is a well-known true-blue cinephile, a deeply devoted fan of films from a variety of genres and eras. He's a fan of everything from sleazy grindhouse exploitation films to classic westerns like the films of Howard Hawks, and he wears his influences loudly and proudly in his own films. So when asked about his favorite films of all time, he has different answers depending on how he feels. There is one movie that he claims to always include in his favorites, however, and he's been pretty effusive about his love for it on more than one occasion.

In an interview with The Talks, Tarantino shared his favorite three films (at that particular moment) and explained that even though two of his top three might shuffle around, he will always feel the need to share his love for the Sergio Leone spaghetti western "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

The Man with No Name is one of Clint Eastwoods career-defining roles. The drifter and bounty hunter appears throughout Sergio Leones Dollars Trilogy, taking the nicknames "Joe," "Manco." and "Blondie." The character's adventures collect cash rewards, retrieve gold buried in Sad Hill Cemetery, bring peace to the town of San Miguel, and help eliminate the notorious outlaw El Indio. The hero also exhibits all the characteristics of a perfect Western movie protagonist. He has a quick draw, he doesn't talk much, he is independent, and is known for his moral ambiguity.

While The Man with no Name is great in A Fistful of Dollars and A Few Dollars More, he truly comes to life in The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, where he teams up with the bandit, Tuco (Eli Wallach), and navigates the chaos of the American Civil War to recover a cache of gold that is buried in an unmarked grave.

It is borderline impossible to define the six-decade-long artistic legacy that Clint Eastwood had painstakingly mapped, as his stacked filmography includes everything from certified classics to overlooked gems. Of course, no artist can have an impeccably perfect run, but some, like Eastwood, inch very close to that ideal by re-defining entire genres that will always have a place in cinematic history. Not every good film that Eastwood helmed or starred in made a ton of money at the box office, but artistic success cannot be solely measured via such narrow metrics, as his name is embedded into the public consciousness, for better or worse.

It is tempting to dissect Eastwood's artistry purely through the Western genre — works like "A Fistful of Dollars" or "The Outlaw Josey Wales" capture his contributions succinctly — but there is much more to him than a drawling accent or laidback gunslinging. The actor has often been...

Quick Links Outer Range Mixes Sci-Fi and Westerns Outer Range Has Earned Genuine Acclaim It Was Canceled Far Too Soon Where To Watch Outer Range

The often-overlooked Outer Range introduced a fascinating twist to Western shows. Throughout the mid-to-late 20th century, the Western was a genre unto itself. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), and Dances with Wolves (1990) took the world by storm. By the 2000s, however, Hollywood had already moved into a new era of sci-fi and fantasy adventures that gave comic books and futuristic concepts a chance to earn their own places on the small screen and in theaters.

There are still popular Westerns being made, including Hell or High Water (2016), The Hateful Eight (2015), and Django Unchained (2012). Even Yellowstone has become a massive success. Yet, to thrive in the modern media landscape, every Western needs to offer a fresh and new experience that twists classic tropes.
