And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself

Lights...Camera...Action...Revolution! Antonio Banderas delivers a tour-de-force performance in this incredible true story of the legendary real-life Mexican revolutionary who starred in Hollywood's first action epic. This exceptional HBO Films production explores the fine line between fact and fiction, revealing how Pancho Villa (Banderas) allowed a Hollywood crew to film him and his army as they battled the nationalist Huerta forces in 1914--altering the course of film and military history in the process. Eion Bailey co-stars with Alan Arkin (The In-Laws) and Oscar(R)-winner Jim Broadbent (Iris). Written by Larry Gelbart (TV's M*A*S*H) and directed by Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies).
