Synopsis:
A champion of the Mexican people by day, a wrestler by night, budding lucha libre fighter El Alambrista Emplumado comes to America. His face hidden behind a mask emblazoned with the colors of his homeland, Alambrista fights to defend the rights of migrant workers who have been forgotten by mainstream society. As the United States wrestles feverishly with immigration and border issues, he finds himself caught up in an international dispute, fighting battles on many fronts from the ring to the cotton fields to the cattle ranches. He must take on his main wrestling rival and save a kidnapped child from the beak of a bloodthirsty rooster.

For those of us who have missed the Mexican masked superhero film of the 60s and 70s, the genre is reborn with gusto in "El Alambrista: The Fence Jumper." The title character follows in the footsteps of El Santo and Blue Demon, fighting for the little guy, but now with contemporary border issues as the social backdrop. Great fun, with great heart!
