We will get back for the film (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

western

'the film' is the definition.
(Western is an example)

'we will get back' is the wordplay.
'will get' says to put letters next to each other.
'back' becomes 'stern' (stern means the back of a boat).
'we'+'stern'='WESTERN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for western that I've seen before include "direction?" , "Old film genre, horse opera" , "Cowboys and Indians movie" , "Cowboy film of occidental origin" , "The Occident" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
