FOUR OF THE APOCALYPSE is an italian western directed by Lucio Fulci in 1975.
A gambler, a prostitute, an alcoholic bum and a mad black man are expelled from Salt Lake City by a corrupted sheriff. The four companions will try to reach Sand City, 200 miles away, through the Utah desert. But they will be attacked by Chaco who'll rape the pregnant Bunny and leave them without food nor horses in the desert. Then begins for the four friends a desperate journey across the unfriendly Utah landscape.
