Seven Days in May is a 1964 thriller/drama film directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Kirk Douglas as USMC Colonel Martin "Jiggs" Casey, who uncovers a plot led by General James Mattoon Scott (Burt Lancaster) to overthrow the President of the United States (Fredric March).

U.S Army soldiers at "Site Y" are armed with M16 rifles, which is likely the earliest appearance of the weapon in any Hollywood film. Colonel William 'Mutt' Henderson (Andrew Duggan) seizes a M16 from another soldier while helping Senator Raymond Clark (Edmond O'Brien) escape detention.
