Synopsis

Django comes to town to discover that his brother Steve, accused of robbing a bank, has been lynched. Django believes the real culprit is Sartana and challenges him to a duel. Just in time he discovers that the author of the crime is an important local figure and Django and Sartana join forces to punish him.

Comment

The mythical confrontation between SWs most famous heroes is only a lame quarrel, and anyway the title would be more appropriate if it would have been changed to "Django with Sartana". Pascal Squitieri's clumsy debut film is a cheap affair produced in "Fidani Country", with 2 leading actors which are not able to walk in Nero's and Garko's boots and lots of dialogues which are only a stiff and shallow rendering of SW cliches. As so often the music is the best part to remember.
