Adiós, Sabata (1970)

In the tumultuous era of 1867 Mexico, the self-proclaimed Emperor Maximilian’s iron fist reigns, while revolutionaries strive to restore the rightful leader, Benito Juárez, to power. Amidst this political whirlpool, the neutral United States grapples with the agony of its own Civil War. The Mexican revolutionary cause pins its hopes on a daring plot to steal a wagon-load of gold from Maximilian's Austrian and French forces, intending to use this wealth to buy weapons. Enter the enigmatic sharp-shooter dressed in black, Sabata, commissioned by guerrilla leader Señor Ocaño, and his unlikely ally, the aristocratic swindler, Ballantine. The duo, joined by their companion Escudo, triumphantly seize the wagon, only to discover a deceitful payload of sand instead of the anticipated gold. The fingers of suspicion point to the menacing Austrian Colonel Skimmel, a man as sly as he is ruthless. Betrayed and infuriated, Sabata and his comrades embark on a perilous quest to reclaim the elusive gold, navigating a treacherous landscape where allies may be foes and enemies could wear the mask of friendship. As they plunge deeper into this intrigue, they must outwit not only Skimmel but also those who lurk in the shadows, ready to switch allegiances for their own benefit. With danger lurking at every turn, will Sabata manage to pull victory from the jaws of deceit and ensure the gold lands in the hands of those fighting for Mexico's freedom? In this riveting tale of courage, treachery, and relentless pursuit, the fate of a nation hangs in the balance.
