They were seven and they fought like seven hundred!
Academy Award® winner Yul Brynner stars in this landmark Western that launched the careers of screen icons Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and James Coburn. Experience this classic thrilling adventure with awesome high-definition picture and sound, as The Magnificent Seven comes to Blu-ray to mark its 50th Anniversary on 30 August 2010 from MGM and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Tired of being ravaged by an army of marauding bandits led by the charismatic Calvera (Eli Wallach; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), the beleaguered residents of a small Mexican village seek help from seven American gunfighters led by Chris Adams (Brynner; The King and I, The Ten Commandments). The gunmen are cool and capable, and the baddest in the West. The only problem? Its seven against 50!
Directed by the legendary John Sturges (The Great Escape) and set against an unforgettable Academy Award® nominated score by Elmer Bernstein, The Magnificent Seven is an action-packed re-make of Akira Kurosawas 1954 film Seven Samurai.
