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 taIe "The Mexican," this production features Richard Conte as the moody, intensely patriotic Rivera. Arriving in 1910 El Paso, the former fisherman gets a job with Mexican exiles who pubIish leaflets denouncing Mexico's despotic President Diaz. To raise money for the cause, he aIso works at a nearby boxing gym. MeanwhiIe, south of the Rio Grande, the ragtag fighting force of guerrilIa Ieader Durango (Lee J. Cobb) needs 1000 rifles to make one Iast stand. Determined to raise $5000 to buy the arms, Rivera goes fist to fist with a champion boxer in a winner-take-alI bout. AIthough severely over-matched, Rivera must win for the sake of Mexico's oppressed people!
The Fighter delivers the one-two punch of brutal historicaI drama and in-ring boxing action, with cinematography by the Iegendary James Wong Howe, and direction by famed documentarian Herbert Kline (The Forgotten ViIlage). |
