"Keoma" is a 1976 Italian Spaghetti Western film directed by Enzo G. Castellari and starring Franco Nero. The movie is set in the American West during the Civil War and tells the story of Keoma (Franco Nero), a half-Indian, half-white gunslinger who returns to his hometown to find it overrun by a ruthless gang led by the villainous Caldwell (Donald O'Brien).
As Keoma tries to help the townspeople resist Caldwell's tyranny, he is confronted by his own past and the bitter memories of his family. He is also helped by his old mentor, the African-American George (Woody Strode), who teaches him valuable lessons about life and morality.
Keoma's half-brothers, who work for Caldwell, also make an appearance and initially oppose Keoma's efforts. However, as the situation becomes more dire, they decide to join forces with Keoma and help him defeat Caldwell and his men.
The film features epic gunfights and memorable action scenes, as well as a haunting soundtrack composed by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis. "Keoma" is considered one of the best examples of the Spaghetti Western genre, with a unique and artistic approach to storytelling and cinematography. It also showcases Franco Nero's charismatic performance as the titular hero, who is both tough and compassionate.
