An engaging spaghetti western, mastered in 2K, tells the story of seven dangerous men hired to escort a sick woman and her husband across treacherous territory. Each of the mixed bag of seven has lives altered by circumstance and their own unique motives in helping the pair. They meet hostile Indians and then must brave through the expansive, barren desert in a seemingly doomed trek to civilization, overcoming death in more ways than one. This gritty masterpiece of ill-fated hope, the power of love and the burning desire for revenge, is considered as one of Spanish director J. R. Merchant's most impressive westerns.
