The Big Gundown is a 1966 Italian Spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Sollima. In the movie, John Corbett (played by Lee Van Cleef) is a bounty hunter who is hired by a wealthy landowner to track down Cuchillo Sanchez (played by Tomas Milian), a Mexican peasant accused of raping and killing a 12-year-old girl.
At first, Corbett has doubts about Cuchillo's guilt, but as he pursues him across the Mexican countryside, he comes to believe that the wanted man is indeed guilty of the crime. Along the way, Corbett must navigate a dangerous political landscape, as Cuchillo is seen by many as a hero and symbol of resistance against the corrupt ruling class.
Despite the odds against him, Corbett remains determined to bring Cuchillo to justice. Along the way, he faces a variety of dangers, including bandits, treacherous terrain, and even a deadly duel with a rival bounty hunter.
As the tension between the two men reaches its climax, an unexpected twist forces Corbett to make a difficult choice between justice and revenge, and the film builds to a thrilling and unforgettable finale.
