Directed by actor and filmmaker Seth MacFarlane, A Million Ways to Die in the West is a new American western comedy film.

Albert Stark (Seth MacFarlane) is a gentle sheep farmer facing hard times. He’s trying to figure out how to escape the godforsaken frontier that is trying to kill him and everybody else in it. Things get worse for Albert when his girlfriend Louise (Amanda Seyfried) leaves him when he backs out of gunfight.

Louise takes up with the town’s most successful businessman, the arrogant Foy (Neil Patrick Harris). But when a mysterious and beautiful gunslinger named Anna (Charlize Theron) rides into town, she helps Albert to find his courage and they start to unexpectedly fall in love.

Trouble comes when Anna’s husband, notorious outlaw Clinch Leatherwood (Liam Neeson), arrives in town seeking revenge. Albert must put his courage to the test in a gunfight against Clinch to win Anna’s hand and his own long-denied respect in the Wild West.

Catch the action and laughs when A Million Ways to Die in the West hits local cinemas on July 10.
