When a small Mexican village is overrun by a gang of bandits, the locals decide to call on the only heroic men they know - the Three Amigos! Unfortunately, the heroics of the Amigos is pure thetrics, a show put on for their series of popular movies, and when the Amigos show up they think the whole thing is just a show the village wants them to put on, so when they are faced with real bandits, their true nature comes tothe surface.

This is such a great movie, with some great over the top performances amongst some understated acting. The cast are wonderful together, making a very camp performance out of the whole affair, and the sets are authentically pleasing to the eye. A simple movie, a simple plot, and timeless humour that the whole family can enjoy.
