Unforgiven
Clint Eastwood's outstanding homage to Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns.
Director: Clint Eastwood
Overview
A retired outlaw (Clint Eastwood) who’s repented his past sins is persuaded to do one last job when a terrible crime goes unpunished. He and another bounty hunter (Morgan Freeman) find themselves at odds with a local sheriff (Gene Hackman) when the locals put a bounty on the criminals in question.
Eastwood dedicated this multi Oscar®-winner to the directors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel, both of whom played an important role in his career.
