Walker
Before Rambo... Before Oliver North...
Directed by Alex Cox
A darkly ambitious historical drama about American imperialism and mercenary ambition in 19th-century Nicaragua, told with deliberate anachronism and moral complexity.
William Walker and his mercenary corps enter Nicaragua in the middle of the 19th century in order to install a new government by a coup d'etat.
