Thunder Over Mexico

Drama / historický, USA, 1933, 70 min.



In 1906, on the Hacienda Tetlapayac in Mexico, Sebastian Enriquez lives happily as a poor peon who works in the fields of his master, as he is engaged to be married to the beautiful, young Maria. The two are married in a native ceremony because both families are too poor to pay a priest to officiate the wedding. Before they can consummate their marriage, however, tradition requires that Sebastian present Maria to his patron at his hacienda. That same day, the patron's daughter returns from her honeymoon with her new husband for the Feast of Corpus Christo. When Sebastian and Maria arrive at the hacienda for his patron's approval, the master becomes upset, claiming that Sebastian has insulted his daughter, and refuses to approve their marriage until the feast is over. Maria is then taken to the west tower, where she is assaulted by one of the master's guests. When Sebastian learns of his young bride's rape, he goes crazy with anger. Some of the other peons join Sebastian in open revolt against their master. A man hunt is formed to capture the rebellious peons, during which the master's daughter is accidentally shot. After capturing Sebastian and his comrades, the grieving master takes his revenge by ordering their execution by "the punishment of the horses," in which the rebels are buried alive, with only their heads exposed, then the master's horses are ordered to run over the peasants until their heads are crushed.
