Tequila is a 1973 Spaghetti Western featuring Anthony Steffen, Eduardo Fajardo, and Roberto Camardiel. The movie is directed by Tulio Demicheli and written by Giovanni Simonelli. The film is set in the Mexican desert, and it tells the story of a drifter named Tequila, who aims to avenge his brother's death. Tequila (Anthony Steffen) arrives in town and immediately runs into trouble when he witnesses a group of bandits committing a brutal robbery. The bandits work for a wealthy rancher named Lázaro de la Torre (Eduardo Fajardo), who is a notorious criminal and the primary antagonist of the movie. De la Torre is involved in shady business dealings, and he will stop at nothing to protect his interests.

Tequila is a skilled gunslinger and brawler, and he quickly makes enemies with the bandits. He also catches the attention of the lovely Lupita (Fanny Grey), who works at the local cantina. Lupita is a firecracker, fiercely independent and self-confident. She and Tequila form an instant bond, which is essential as they later team up to face the corrupt forces that plague the town.

The plot thickens when Tequila discovers that his brother was murdered by de la Torre's bandits during a heist. Tequila is determined to seek revenge and embarks on a mission to find the culprits. His quest for justice leads him to a host of complicated battles and shootouts, which take place amidst the dusty and barren Mexican landscape.

As Tequila opens a can of worms and uncovers more information about the nefarious activities of de la Torre, he finds solid allies in his fight against the corruption that plagues the town. The deeds of the corrupt rancher have not gone unnoticed, with many people suffering as his dirty deeds have inflicted harm on the inhabitants of the town.

One of Tequila's allies is Isidro (Roberto Camardiel), a grizzled old man with a keen eye for the hidden workings of the corrupt rancher. Isidro is a wise, selfless man who is always quick to offer his assistance to those in need. He has been combating the tyranny in the town for years without success, but with the arrival of Tequila and Lupita, there may yet be hope. Together, they hatch a plan to take down the ruthless bandit who holds the town in his grip.

Tequila is a classic Spaghetti Western with all the tropes intact. It features slick gunplay, dramatic showdowns, and a thrilling story with a tight pace. The film also boasts well-choreographed action scenes, which are a testament to the director's acumen. The movie is visually striking, thanks to stunning cinematography and the stark beauty of the Mexican desert.

The characters are well-crafted, with each having a unique personality that distinguishes them from the rest. Tequila's character is typical of a Spaghetti Western protagonist; he is a man of few words but with an unwavering resolve to confront the bad guys.
