In Mexico, a young boxer uses his winnings to buy guns to avenge his family's murder.
Don't miss the return of Marvel's highly adaptive covert agency, the story of one of the greatest rap groups of all time, and a modern take on "Lord of the Flies."

This film is never mentioned by the film historians when listing great sports films. Richard Conte was brilliant and made this adaptation of the great Jack London's "The Mexican" a true representation. The director and castings reflect the era of the Mexican revolution. I do not have a biography of Conte, but he must have been either a boxer or an athlete of some ability. Lee J. Cobb was equally brilliant. Why it is not aired or remains buried, is a mystery.
