Ecstasy of Gold

Jun 11 2009 R 1h 29m
Western

While roaming the wild plains on a quest to find a cache of hidden riches, sharp-shooting bounty hunter Butch (John Elliott) and his outlaw companions come across a deadly gang with supernatural powers in this stylized Western. As the hunt for the gold treasure becomes competitive -- and violent -- Butch, morally questionable Rattler Fenton (Brad Allen) and vengeful Akemi (Narisa Suzuki) must confront the evil and powerful Mondego (Ben Hall).

Plot

Butch is a bounty hunter who just wants to get paid an honest amount for an honest day's work; his chattel, morally corrupt Rattler Fenton just wants to cash in on his well hidden and - to hear him tell it - hard won gold. As Butch navigates an increasingly magical West in search of payment he is joined by a quirky band of outcasts and outlaws -including beautiful, ferocious Akemi - and terrorized by the entirely evil but not entirely human Mondego gang. Through Butch we learn the very real consequences of greed as he watches the pursuit of the ecstasy of gold.
