Magnificent Seven, The

Magnificent Seven, The

1960

Fed up with being brutalized and impoverished because of outlaw raids led by a merciless brigand (Eli Wallach), the besieged citizens of a small Mexican town hire seven American gunslingers to stave off the marauders once and for all. Badass Yul Brynner heads the band of mercenaries, which includes Hollywood luminaries Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Robert Vaughn. Elmer Bernstein penned the film's unforgettable score.

Once You've Met Them...You'll Never Forget Them.

User Reviews

  • This American Western retelling of the Japanese's Seven Samurai is an excellent classic. The ensemble cast is excellent, and the score is unmistakable, and the script is full of classic quotes. "The old man was right. Only the farmers won. We lost. We always lose."
