''Today We Kill... Tomorrow We Die!'' (Italian: ''Oggi a me... domani a te''), is a 1968 SpaghettiWestern film. It is the directorial debut of Tonino Cervi, who co-wrote the film with Creator/DarioArgento.

Bill Kiowa is released after five years in jail and hires four skilled men for his gang: tough O'Bannion; Sheriff Jeff Milton; gunman Bunny Fox; and gambler Francis 'Colt' Moran, using the money his father gave him. Bill seeks revenge against the sadistic leader of the Comancheros, James Elfego, who killed his Indian wife Mirana Kiowa and framed Bill, sending him to prison.
