A NEW 4K RESTORATION OF THE CLASSIC LUCHADOR FILMIn Spanish with English subtitles
Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta alias El Santo was one of the most famous luchadores in Mexico, contributing greatly to the hype around the sport. In his forty-year career as a wrestling superstar and actor, he never once took off his iconic silver mask and was even buried in it. Even today, Santo is a legend, thanks in part to a series of superhero comics. Outside the ring, he also fought zombies, vampire women, mad scientists, and monsters across both formats.
In his first film, Cerebro del Mal, he was still referred to as ‘El Enmascarado’. Rendered compliant by a scientist and his gangsters via a serum and mysterious rays, he is forced for the opening act to be a henchman for the evil forces who want to take over the world.
The film has great historic value, due also to its impressive exterior shots of revolutionary Cuba
Don't miss a special screening in conjunction with the release of ENMASCARADO - THE MASKED LUCHADORES WE LOVE, a new book featuring biographies and illustrations of some of the sport's finest superstars. Sin Cara, who wrote an introduction for the book, will be at the Alamo Drafthouse East El Paso for a signing beginning at 5 PM on Saturday, November 5. In addition, there will be a thirty-minute Lucha exhibition beginning at 6 PM.
