About Tierra quemada
The story, set at the end of the 19th century, revolves around the rivalry between two families of ancient peasant lineage, the Valladares and the evil Vilches who, out of greed and sentimental revenge, try to dispossess the true owners of their land. The Valladares defend theirs, ending the conflict with a melee between the two main rivals. There are duels, fires, chases, kidnappings, betrayals and deaths. There is also a romantic note, the costumbrista landscape, the laughable moment and the folk songs.
Directed by Alejo Álvarez, Tierra quemada leans on a strong ensemble — Alejo Álvarez, Tennyson Ferrada, Julia Pou — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1968.

Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates.
