Michael
Biehn (The Terminator), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), and Eric Close (TV's
"Without a Trace") continue the saga made famous by John
Sturges' Classic 1960 film The Magnificent Seven in season 1 of
this action-packed television series. Learning from each other and
forming their own code of ethics, The Magnificent Seven vow to defeat
the outlaws of the West and gain the respect of the common folk.
The seven men include their embittered leader, a former gun-for-hire
seeking redemption; a sharpshooter and bounty hunter; a former slave
who becomes a healer; a young and cocky Eastern-bred idealist; a
smooth-talking con-artist; a womanizing gunslinger; and a former
priest turned eccentric prophet. With each episode, their legend
grows through their heroic tales of friendship, loyalty and justice.
We brought you news
last week, that Sony/MGM
will be releasing The Magnificent Seven - The Complete First
Season for DVD on December
6th, 2005. Sony/MGM has sent us the episode
details for this upcoming 2-disc set:
Pilot:
Seven men unite to save a Seminole Indian village from The Ghosts
of the Confederacy, a group of renegade soldiers threatening complete
annihilation. The Seven courageously defend the village from the
pillaging soldiers in this electrifying series premiere.
One Day
Out West: J.D. (Andrew Kavovit) volunteers to serve as
a sheriff when a Federal Judge comes to clean up the town, and Judge
Travis enlists the Seven to protect it.
Working
Girls: The town takes in a group of 'working girls' escaping
from their vengeful master.
Safecracker:
An ex-safecracker traveling through town is forced to return to
her nefarious ways by an adamant ex-partner.
Witness:
Mary's (Laurie Holden) young son visits, only to be haunted by his
memories of a rogue townsperson. Erza's (Anthony Starke) con-artist
mother comes into town.
Nemesis:
Chris pursues the man he believes is responsible for the murder
of his wife and sons. The rest of the seven try their best to keep
Chris from doing something he might regret. A reporter follows the
men around to get a story.
The Collector:
The Seven get involved when a "collector," Guy Royal,
attempts to buy a string of homes: the future home of the railroad.
Royal's hired gun has a bone to pick with Chris over an incident
many years back. Josiah (Ron Perlman) is excited with his former
love, saloon singer Emma comes to town.
Manhunt:
Vin takes the lead in a manhunt to catch an escaped prisoner who
took a local woman hostage. The girl's father, the local preacher,
seeks vengeance.
Inmate
78: Chris is arrested and thrown into a gulag-type prison
camp while intervening in the arrest of an innocent man. He's subsequently
informed that the sheriff identifies drifters who look like they
have money, and arrests them on trumped-up charges until their families
pay the bail. Vin, Ezra and the boys search for Chris when he doesn't
return.
The Magnificent
Seven - The Complete First Season will be presented in Full
Screen and will have English audio tracks (Dolby Surround Sound)
with subtitles in English and French. The Magnificent Seven
- The Complete First Season carries a SRP of $29.95, but you
can pre-order
it at Amazon for only $20.97.
(Editor's Note:
The Amazon listing for The Magnificent Seven has the year 1960 (this
show came out in 1998, the movie in 1960). This is the correct pre-order
link because it has the correct date December
6th, 2005 and it has Michael Biehn listed as the
star, so do not be alarmed if you choose to purchase).
