'The Magnificent Seven' Is One of the Greatest Westerns Ever Made
Out of the many film genres that have existed over the course of cinematic history, there is one genre that is generally understood to be uniquely American: the Western. Because it is so heavily associated with the history and geography of the United States, it is hard to imagine a Western being influenced by any media outside the country. Yet that is precisely the case for John Sturges' 1960 Western epic The Magnificent Seven, which centers on seven American gunslingers hired to protect a Mexican village from bandits. The film is a remake of Seven Samurai (1954), the legendary 200-minute epic masterpiece by Japanese filmmaking pioneer Akira Kurosawa.
