Drumul oaselor (lit. The Road of Bones), is a 1980 Romanian adventure film directed by Doru Năstase. The film is the first in the Mărgelatu series, a set of Western-inspired which center on the eponymous protagonist (Florin Piersic), a mysterious gunslinger who assists revolutionaries in 1840s Wallachia.[1] The cast also includes Marga Barbu, Ion Marinescu , Iurie Darie, and Ernest Maftei.
The film focuses on a group of revolutionary boyars who come into possession of a treasure left behind by Tudor Vladimirescu. The boyars, with the help of Mărgelatu, transport the treasure, as well as a letter proving its authenticity, through Wallachia to hand the treasure and letter to an envoy named "The Yellow Rose" in order to purchase arms. Along the way, the boyars are pursued by the forces of the prince.
