On a mission to save a kidnapped girl, Mexican Federale Machete runs into complications when he crosses a corrupt chief and a drug lord who in turn kill his wife and child and leave him for dead.
Three years later, Machete shows up in Texas as an illegal immigrant looking for work. Desperate for cash, Machete accepts an offer of $150,000 cash to assassinate a senator who plans on sending illegals out of the country, no exceptions made. He doesn't get to carry through though as one of the man's henchmen shoots him and frames him for an attempt on the senator as a way to gain support for the senator's illegals campaign. Injured, Machete is taken in by an underground Mexican hospital network who quickly fix him up and send him on his way.
He's determined to set out and get his revenge on those that set him up as well as the senator himself no matter how bloody or violent the task gets!
Originally a faux trailer for the middle of 2006's Robert Rodriguez's & Quentin Tarentino's Grindhouse double feature, the response was so good that Rodriguez knew he had to make it into a feature film.
If you like over the top action B-movies, and don't mind some bloody, graphic violence don't miss Machete! It has lots of action, and some quite hilarious B-movie moments! Danny Trejo doesn't disappointment in this role that he was made to play!
