Synopsis:
It was a classic motion picture. Now the adventure of the big-screen Old West comes to television, in the tale of seven men committed to one cause - justice. No one can outshoot, outfight or out-think the Magnificent Seven. Hailing from vastly different backgrounds and troubled by dark secrets in their pasts, these seven men - gunslinger, bounty hunter, ex-priest, former slave, con man, ladies man and greenhorn - have been brought together by the shared experience of violence and tragedy. Led by a man who seeks to avenge the murder of his family, these Magnificent Seven ride the western territories confronting injustice on behalf of those who are unable to fight for themselves.
