Dollar for the Dead is a 1998 TNT western television film. Film directed and written by Gene Quintano and starring Emilio Estevez. It is the third western film which Estevez stars. Film also stars William Forsythe, Joaquim de Almeida, Jonathan Banks, Ed Lauter and Howie Long. Actor Jordi Mollà nominated for Fotogramas de Plata award.

Dollar for the Dead is often perceived as a tribute to the 1960s spaghetti westerns, with a liberal dose of modern Hong Kong film-making thrown in. Emilio Estevez portrays a "man with no name" role, stylistically akin to Clint Eastwood's 1960s westerns. The film also portrays an atmosphere similar to those of the 60s, with numerous visual and character references to Sergio Leone's Clint Eastwood films Per un pugno di dollari, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, as well as non-Eastwood movies like Once Upon a Time in the West, The Wild Bunch and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and so on.

Synopsis

Lone super-quick gunslinger "nameless" Cowboy (Estevez) on the run from a rancher (Long) and his men out to kill him for killing his son. When former Confederate soldier (Forsythe) saw how can Cowboy defend himself, even dropping a drink, pulling and shooting a
