THE MAGNIFICENT ELEVEN is a modernisation of the classic Western, from the creator of Trainspotting Irvine Welsh, in which the Cowboys are a local amateur soccer team, the Indians run a nearby Tandoori restaurant, and the bandits are a group of menacing thugs led by a maniac known simply as American Bob (played by Robert Vaughn -- the last surviving member of The Magnificent Seven). When local Sunday league team — The Cowboys — finally run out of money to keep the team afloat they do what they always do to drown their sorrows after losing a match, head to an Indian restaurant for a meal. The thing is they're that bad that they've been barred from every Indian restaurant in town, except one... The Taj Tandoori. But when the time comes to pay the bill the realisation of not having enough money finally hits home. Instead of calling the Police and barring them, like all the previous restaurant owners have, the owner of the Taj offers the Cowboys an interesting proposition — he won't call the Police in exchange the Cowboys must work in the restaurant in shifts. In return he offers them a sponsorship deal, remaining the team the Taj Cowboys and buying them a ridiculous new kit. Unbeknownst to the Cowboys he really wants to use them as security against local racketeers run by a psychotic gangster known only as American Bob. Trying to reason with American Bob only leads to more woe, as he takes out a personal vendetta against them, resulting in their hut being burnt to the ground and the restaurant threatened with the same fate. When the chips are down the Cowboys and the Indians must form the most unlikely of alliances and take on the bandits head on. Together they'll prove that... Eleven united can never be defeated. Starring Keith Allen (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Robin Hood), Sean Pertwee (Dog Soldiers, Event Horizon, 4,3,2,1), Gary Mavers (Dead Man's Cards, S.N.U.B!, Peak Practice), Phillip Rhys (Nip/Tuck, 24, Survivors), Jenna Harrison (My Brother Tom, Against The Dark, Telling Lies) with Paul Barber (The Full Monty, The 51st State, Only Fools And Horses) and Robert Vaughn (The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Bullitt), THE MAGNIFICENT ELEVEN is a feel-good British comedy in a similar vein to The Full Monty & Bend it like Beckham with a nod to Slumdog Millionaire
