[edit] Plot

In this film Chris is a marshal and is married. A brutal tragedy sends him on the trail of killers and he must once again assemble a team of seven to fight a ruthless bandit Juan De Toro and his men.

In many ways, this is a change of pace in the series with a few subplots and some romance. It seems a more conventional western than its predecessors.

[edit] Trivia

This is the only film in the series filmed entirely in the United States.
Lee Van Cleef was already committed to this film when he was asked to star in a film that would eventually become Adiós, Sabata, the second in The Sabata Trilogy Spaghetti Western films. Yul Brynner, who had played Chris Adams in The Magnificent Seven and Return of the Seven, would take over the role Van Cleef has played in Sabata. Van Cleef would then return to the Sabata role for the third film in the series, Return of Sabata.
