The Black Six is a 1974 American blaxploitation and outlaw biker film written by George Theakos and directed by Matt Cimber.

[2][4] The titular "Black Six" was played by six then-current National Football League stars: The players' teams appeared with the actors' names in the film's credits.

In addition, the cast includes Ben Davidson, who had recently retired from football, as a member of a motorcycle gang opposing the Black Six.

All six protagonists (and Davidson) were All-Pro, while Greene, Barney, Lanier and Eller have since been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Several of the football players were disappointed with elements in the original script, especially that the black motorcyclists would be killed in the end, despite the fact that they stood for truth, justice and the American way.
