Gunfighters return to the village they saved when its men are abducted by bandits.
Run-of-the-mill sequel to The Magnificent Seven with only one of the original stars plus the evocative theme music. Shot in Spain instead of Mexico and looking it, with more talk than action, both of which struggle to sustain a story that could run one third its length.
