Plot:
Plagued by the relentless attacks of ruthless Calvera's marauding gang of bandits, a small Mexican village of farmers teeters on the edge of poverty. Fuelled by the fierce determination to fight back, the embattled villagers muster their courage and send three men on a dangerous mission to the first town near the US border, hoping to secure weapons. To their surprise, they encounter Chris Adams, an enigmatic Cajun gunslinger. And with the addition of six more lethal protectors, the once-defenceless peasants can finally confront their oppressors. Now, they are ready for war. Does Calvera and his formidable gang know they are no match for the fearless Magnificent Seven?
