Director Antoine Fuqua brings his modern vision to a classic story in The Magnificent Seven. With the town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue, the desperate townspeople employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns. As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money.
: Rated PG-13 for extended and intense sequences of Western violence, and for historical smoking, some language and suggestive material| See all certifications »
When Faraday tells the townspeople about Robicheaux's history, he says that he had "23 confirmed kills at Antietam." Both men were Confederates, so they would've called it Sharpsburg, not Antietam. See more »

Crazy Credits
The opening credits appear as Sam Chisholm rides into town, with Denzel Washington's credit appearing just as Sam comes into view. See more »
Good movie, but certainly not great. The cast are tremendous actors, but IMO Vincent D'Onofrio was the star of the show...fantastic acting on his part. Of course, Denzel Washington was a good main character, however, unbelievable given that historically, the west was populated largely by people of Caucasion and Mexican descent. I feel that the casting of mostly minorities was another pathetic attempt at re-writing history with a broad, multi-colored and politically correct brush that is all too common today. This movie largely lacked character development and I wished there was more substance to the film. What can I say? Like many other movies released in the last 10 years, it had plenty of action and fast-moving scenes, but fell short of becoming something memorable. In the end, the script reminded me of the classic A- Team episode, except this team sports cowboy hats and six- shooters.
