Viva Zapata!

“A BANDIT WHO BECAME A LEGEND! Roaring Story of Mexico’s Tiger on a White Horse!”

In Mexico in the early 1900s, the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz holds the villages in its grip, and the peasants have little say over the land they work. Emiliano Zapata (Marlon Brando) steps forward to speak for his neighbors, joined by his brother Eufemio (Anthony Quinn) and drawn toward Josefa (Jean Peters). Elia Kazan films the story from a script by John Steinbeck, keeping the camera close to the faces of the men and women around Zapata.
