A star-studded Western movie is airing on TV tonight

It's from the director of Training Day and the creator of True Detective.

The film focuses on seven gunmen (including Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke and Squid Game's Byung-hun Lee) from a variety of backgrounds who are brought together by a vengeful young widow (Haley Bennett).

This is to protect her town from the private army of a destructive industrialist (Peter Sarsgaard).

Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer trilogy) and co-written by Nic Pizzolatto (the creator of True Detective), this version of The Magnificent Seven landed in cinemas to solid reviews.

The general consensus was that though the movie did not reach the lofty heights of its predecessors, it is still an entertaining Western in its own right.

2016's The Magnificent Seven is airing on TV on Virgin Media One at 9pm.

It is also available to stream on Prime Video.
