A high-octane blend of style and action, writer-director Robert Rodriguez's groundbreaking Mexico Trilogy redefined American independent and action cinema, launching Rodriguez and his predominantly Hispanic cast and crew into Hollywood fame.

Rodriguez's inventive 1993 debut El Mariachi (famously made for just $7,000) follows a young musician who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a deadly case of mistaken identity in a rough border town. In Desperado, Antonio Banderas takes on the role of the enigmatic Mariachi, blazing a trail of vengeance through the Mexican underworld with an arsenal of bullets. Finally, 2003's Once Upon a Time in Mexico brings the trilogy to an explosive conclusion, as the Mariachi is drawn into a brutal battle for Mexico’s soul, showcasing Rodriguez's mastery of cutting-edge filmmaking techniques.

Packed with energy, creativity, and inspiration, this iconic trilogy firmly established Robert Rodriguez as a visionary action filmmaker. This edition includes insightful new interviews with the director and his collaborators, plus a bonus 4K Ultra HD disc featuring Desperado for the ultimate viewing experience.
