Based on The Mexican, a novel by Jack London , in revolution-torn Mexico of 1910, a young patriot offers his services as a boxer to raise money for the cause after his family and girlfriend are slain by the ruthless dictator. Excellent performances by Richard Conte and Lee J. Cobb. Well-made and absorbing drama.
