The Story of the Man Who Achieved the Impossible (Even If No One Knew His Name). Watch the Trailer for 'Mexico 86'
Not every goal is scored on the pitch... Soccer is much more than a sport. What happens off the field can be just as intense as the action during the game. Mexico 86 is the untold story of Martín de la Torre, a Mexican bureaucrat whose devotion and passion for soccer led him to make Mexico -for the second time- the host of one of the most important sporting events in the world. But what he never imagined was that, to achieve this, he would have to break several rules and always live on the edge of a red card.
Brimming with humor, audacity, and Mexican ingenuity, the film stars Diego Luna (who also serves as executive producer), Karla Souza, and Daniel Giménez Cacho, alongside Álvaro Guerrero, Memo Villegas, Juan Pablo Fernández, and other talented actors, directed by Gabriel Ripstein.
México 86 arrives June 5.
Only on Netflix.
