115 mins

In 1916, a young woman from the village of Santa Poco lures three out-of-work silent film stars to Mexico to help take on the ruthless El Guapo and his gang.

Seizing the chance to earn much-needed cash, the amigos head south of the border, but soon discover they’ve been mistaken as their on-screen heroic characters.

Starring the top comics of our time, the outrageous antics never end with these Three Amigos: Steve Martin is Lucky Day, the fast-talking leader of the bunch; Chevy Chase is Dusty Bottoms, a guitar-strumming romantic; and Martin Short is Ned Nederlander, Hollywood’s quickest sharp-shooter.

From crazy mishaps to colorful musical numbers, this trio of accidental heroes elevates the Western to hilarious heights.

Three Amigos are we...
Cult mid1980s comedy, which is really based on a case of mistaken identity as three Western movie stars from the silent film era are mistaken for the real thing by Mexican villagers and hired to run out real bandits terrorising the village, with those three (rather dumb) stars believing they have been hired to put on a show.

The singing bush.

The invisible swordsman.

An extreme case of mistaken identity.

"And then just, even like comedies of the 1980s, I mean the Three Amigos, I grew up with… It’s such a great movie. I was just talking to someone about it actually and I haven’t seen The Jerk before and we were both saying… she’s a director I just worked with and she grew up watching Three Amigos and loved, obviously, Steve Martin and Martin Short and Chevy Chase. It’s such a simple and ridiculous storyline that it just works. It’s like from the off, you’re just in on this little joke, you know. It’s so great. So I loved that when I was growing up. She was telling me The Jerk, I’d never seen The Jerk before, and I watched it a couple of weeks ago for the first time and it was, again, just really great, kind of like, SNL humor that I really love."
