Gleeful, gloriously wicked blend of action, hilarity and luminous panoramic photography, 800 Bullets is cult auteur Alex De La Iglesia's hyper-stylized tribute to the classic spaghetti westerns. Young Carlos (Luis Castro), upon discovering his grandfather was an infamous stuntman on the Almeria-sets where hundreds of epic westerns were filmed, including those Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood, embarks on a journey that will change his life forever. With his mother's (acting legend Carmen Maura) credit card in his pocket and her on his tail, he sets his sights on Texas-Hollywood where he discovers a band of outsiders still brawling, battling and chasing their dreams of stardom amidst the arid dust of the scorching Spanish desert. Calamity, hilarity and death defying feats of stupidity and bravery are never far away in this acclaimed action comedy from one of modern cinema's unsung masters.
