- Synopsis
- Giuliano robs from the rich conservative landowners to give to the poor, serf-like peasants, who in turn hail him as their savior. As his popularity grows, so does his ego, and he eventually thinks he is above the power of his backer, Mafia Don Masino Croce. The Don, in turn, sets out to kill the upstart by convincing his cousin and closest advisor Gaspare to assassinate him.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'The Sicilian' represents a botched telling of the life of postwar outlaw leader Salvatore Giuliano"
-
"This is one of Cimino's best films, with a fine sense of spectacle and landscape."
-
"The dialogue is ponderously poetic, stilted and over-emphatic (...) and both cutting and photography tend towards the bombastic. Folly, then, but gloriously inept and overblown."
