Originally banned in several countries, Sergio Corbucci's groundbreaking bloodfest Django is one of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns ever made, and one of the most influential - spawning not only dozens of imitations but a new cinema genre: its everlasting effect seen today as the avowed inspiration behind Quentin Tarantino's own Django Unchained tribute. Django (Franco Nero - honoured with a cameo accolade in Tarantino's variation), a mysterious lone drifter who trails a coffin behind him, arrives in a bleak, mud-drenched border town where he ignites a violent feud between a group of Mexican bandidos and an army of hooded Ku Klux Klan-like racist murderers.
