A truly international production, Red Sun (opens in a new tab) was filmed in Spain by the British director Terence Young (opens in a new tab) and starring American action legend Charles Bronson (opens in a new tab),the Japanese actor Toshirô Mifune (opens in a new tab) (best known for Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (opens in a new tab)), French superstar Alain Delon (opens in a new tab) and the gorgeous Swiss actress Ursula Andress (opens in a new tab). Terence Young had previously seen great success directing Sean Connery in three of his outings as James Bond.

The film sees two ruthless robbers, Link (Bronson) and Gauche (Delon) who attack a train bound for Washington carrying the Japanese ambassador. During the raid Gauche steals a very valuable sword and then betrays Link, trying to kill him before escaping with the loot. Link must team up with the only surviving Samurai escort of the ambassador (Mifune) and track down Gauche before it’s too late.

Bronson had previously starred in The Magnificent Seven (opens in a new tab), an American remake of Seven Samurai. The main figures on this poster appear to be photographic and I’m uncertain who is responsible for the artwork above them.
