Wanted Sabata: (1970)
At the trial, the four crooked witnesses sealed Sabata's fate. The judge slammed down his gavel, sentencing the innocent rancher to hang.
The 1970 Spaghetti Western Wanted Sabata —directed by Roberto Mauri and starring Brad Harris—is a story about a simple rancher framed for murder by a sadistic bounty hunter named Jim Sparrow. 🏜️ The Setup
Sparrow was a ruthless bounty hunter who had concocted a brilliant, diabolical scheme. He didn't want Sabata to hang for a mere $500 reward. By helping Sabata escape and making him a fugitive, Sparrow intended to systematically murder the very witnesses who had lied at the trial. He would pin every new corpse on the fleeing rancher, artificially inflating the bounty on Sabata's head until it was worth a fortune. Only then would Sparrow track him down and cash in.

As Sparrow lay dying in the dust, the local sheriff—who had been secretly following the trail of bodies and finally witnessed Sparrow's true nature—stepped out from the shadows. Seeing the truth with his own eyes, the sheriff holstered his weapon and nodded at the rancher. Sabata was finally a free man. Wanted Sabata (1970) - Roberto Mauri - Letterboxd
