Keoma, also released in various counties under the titles Django Rides Again and The Violent Breed, is a 1976 Spaghetti Western film directed by Enzo G. Castellari and starring Franco Nero and Donald O'Brien. Keoma, one of the last notable films of its genre, is considered by some to be one of the finest spaghetti westerns ever made, with its scenes of slow motion, gunfights, an anti-hero and musical soundtrack. The film follows the plot line of Django (1966), also starring Franco Nero. It is sometimes categorized in the Acid genre and known as a western reworking of Ingmar Bergman's metaphysical The Seventh Seal.

Plot

Keoma (Nero) returns back to his home town to find his brothers have sided with an outlaw, and with the help of his father, a family friend he vows revenge. Keoma also shows a mark of compassion when he saves a dying woman from a mine full of plague victims.
