- Synopsis:
- Starring acting giants Rod Steiger (In the Heat of the Night) as Juan Miranda, an amoral peasant-turned-outlaw, and James Coburn (Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) as John Mallory, a dynamite-tossing Irish revolutionary who has fled to Mexico after becoming a fugitive in his own country. Together, they're a devilishly volatile mix of anti-establishment philosophies and violent tendencies as they attempt to liberate political prisoners, defend their compatriots against a well-equipped militia, and risk their lives on a train filled with explosives.

A fistful of rubbish - A Fistful of Dynamite review by SF
Here we have film trying to take the micky out of the old western and gangster films and it ended up being a basket full of, how can I say this without being rude?
We didn't like it at all and only watched to see how bad it could get and it exceeded our expectations

dynamite not dollars! - A Fistful of Dynamite review by CP Customer
Not in to westerns? Think again! Pathos, comedy, fantastic score, Coburn, explosives, masterful close-up camera-work and the IRA of all things. This film will change your mind. Lovable and truly engaging.
