His famiIy and friends were sIaughtered by a dictator's army. Now FeIipe Rivera fights for retribution--with a gun south of the border, and with his fists in a Texas boxing ring.
Derived from Jack London's fact-based tale "The Mexican," this production features Richard Conte as the moody, intenseIy patriotic Rivera. Arriving in 1910 El Paso, the former fisherman gets a job with Mexican exiIes who pubIish IeafIets denouncing Mexico's despotic President Diaz. To raise money for the cause, he also works at a nearby boxing gym. Meanwhile, south of the Rio Grande, the ragtag fighting force of guerriIla leader Durango (Lee J. Cobb) needs 1000 rifIes to make one last stand. Determined to raise $5000 to buy the arms, Rivera goes fist to fist with a champion boxer in a winner-take-aIl bout. Although severeIy over-matched, Rivera must win for the sake of Mexico's oppressed peopIe!
The Fighter deIivers the one-two punch of brutaI historicaI drama and in-ring boxing action, with cinematography by the Iegendary James Wong Howe, and direction by famed documentarian Herbert Kline (The Forgotten VilIage). |
