Sabata (Italian: Ehi amico ... c'è Sabata, hai chiuso!, roughly translated as "Hey buddy ... that's Sabata, you're finished!"), is a 1969 Italian Spaghetti Western directed by Gianfranco Parolini. It is the first film in The Sabata Trilogy by Parolini, and stars Lee Van Cleef as the title character. The music is from 3:10 to Yuma.
Plot
Sabata, a man-of-few-words gunhand, arrives in a small Texas town to foil a bank robbery, and discovers that it was a plot by the town's leaders, who want to sell the town to the railroad. Sabata blackmails the leader, Stengel, who then sends various thugs to try and kill him, among them a conflicted killer named Banjo, so named for the musical instrument he carries that conceals a rifle.
