A Fistful of Dynamite (Italian: Giù la testa), also known as Duck, You Sucker and Once Upon a Time… the Revolution, is a 1971 Spaghetti western film directed by Sergio Leone and starring James Coburn and Rod Steiger. It is the second part of a loose trilogy of epic films including the previous Once Upon a Time in the West and the subsequent Once Upon a Time in America released thirteen years later. The last western film directed by Leone, it is also his most overlooked.
Set during the 1910s in Mexico, the movie tells the story of Juan Miranda, an amoral Mexican outlaw, and John/Sean Mallory, an ex-Irish Republican Army revolutionary. After they accidentally meet under less-than-friendly circumstances, Juan forces John to use his expertise with explosives to help him rob the legendary Banco Nacional de Mesa Verde, only to find himself deceived by John when he finds the bank devoid of anything of value, having been turned into a political prison, something John knew all along. After freeing hundreds of guerrilla fighters from the bank, Juan involuntarily becomes a hero to them, and he's drawn into the Mexican Revolution.
