Plot

A Mexican farming village, robbed every harvest by the bandit Calvera, hires seven American gunfighters to protect it for almost nothing. Led by the quiet Chris Adams, the seven have different reasons for taking the job, and the village's trust has to be earned. A remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai moved to the Old West.

Sinekatalog’s take

A hugely enjoyable ensemble Western with Elmer Bernstein's galloping score and a cast that includes Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson. It has less depth than Kurosawa's film but plenty of swagger.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
