The young and carefree Nobody is more easily to joke than to use his gun (of which, he is very skilled) has as his idol the legendary gunslinger Jack Beauregard. The old, tired, man - who has a score to settle with the man who killed his brother - is content to fetch some gold, now wanting to leave the West and embark for Europe. When Nobody, comes across his hero he refuses to believe the disappointing truth and decides Beauregard cannot leave before letting him live one last adventure, which will 'make history': the extermination of 'The Wild Bunch', one hundred and fifty outlaws who terrorize the western states of the Union. Nobody, uses his wits, so as to force the reluctant Jack to face the gang, which fall under the blows of his rifle. In a bizarre final duel, intended to give glory to no one, Nobody pretends to kill Jack, then sees him climb onto the ship that will lead eventually to Europe.

  4. Tom, the correct portuguese title it's the second one with the accent above the "E", the other one translated in english would be My Name AND Nobody, the accdent above the "E" it's the singular present of the verb "to be":

    O Meu Nome É Ninguém
