The Unforgettable Gunslingers Ride into Battle Against the Bandits.
The inhabitants of a small Mexican village know how to handle hoes and shovels, but not revolvers and rifles. Almost everything they manage to grow through hard work must be handed over to the ruthless bandit Calvera and his men. One day, however, their patience runs out. Three of them set out toward the American border, hoping to find someone who can teach them how to fight and help them stand up to Calvera.
The first to accept their humble offer is a charismatic, bald gunslinger named Chris. He also takes on the task of recruiting more men. In the end, seven experienced gunfighters ride out to face Calvera’s forty-man gang: the cold-blooded Chris, former cowboy Vin, young and eager Chico, the strong and dependable Bernardo, the silent loner Britt, the outlaw Lee, and the cunning schemer Harry.
The legendary western by John Sturges needs no introduction to film fans. Released in 1960, it was created as a remake of the famous Japanese drama Seven Samurai (1954) by director Akira Kurosawa. Both the Japanese original and the American version belong to the golden treasury of world cinema...
