Plot Overview
The story follows a small Mexican farming village that is repeatedly terrorized and pillaged by a ruthless bandit named Calvera (Eli Wallach) and his gang. Desperate for help, the village elders send three farmers to the US border to find guns to defend themselves. Instead, they end up hiring seven veteran American gunslingers—each with distinct skills and motivations—who agree to return to the village and fight off the bandits for a meager fee. |
