From director John Sturges, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960) gathered a murderer’s row of talent for its heroic ensemble – including Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, Charles Bronson and James Coburn – brought together to protect a small town from a marauding band of outlaws led by Eli Wallach. A rousing adventure and an exciting example of the genre at its finest, the film was honored by the American Film Institute as one of the art form’s most thrilling narratives, and its score was named one of cinema’s most iconic.
