Lucha libre is part of Mexican culture, but how did something that was shown in circuses and fairs become a cinematic genre? Join us to learn about this trajectory.

A resurrected Aztec mummy conspires to manipulate men of power for world domination. Whether Mil Mascaras can be corrupted by the influence of his undead adversary is not clear, but the answer hinges upon the secret of his mask -- a mask which has been passed down to him from his ancestors since time in memoriam.

Mil Máscaras leads a group of wrestlers who take on a challenge in the ring from karate fighters at a martial arts school, while at the same time grappling with an ambitious promoter and a corrupt media businessman. This film was written and produced by Mil Máscaras under his real name of Aarón Rodríguez and features appearances by some well known luchadors including Blue Demon Jr., Dos Caras ( Mil Máscara's real-life brother) and Hombre Araña, who dresses as the comic book hero Spider-Man.
