For Greater Glory

When the ruthless, tyrannical Mexican president (Rubén Blades) enforces laws in 1926 that make it illegal for priests (Peter O'Toole, Santiago Cabrera, et al.) to preach and Catholic parishioners (Eva Longoria, et al.) to worship in this gripping, well-acted, touching, star-studded (Bruce Greenwood, Bruce McGill, and Oscar Isaac) chronicle of the brutal Cristeros War (1926-1929), a former general Enrique Gorostieta Velarde (Andy Garcia) coordinates rebel armies of Christeros (Eduardo Verástegui, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Mauricio Kuri, Jorge Luis Moreno, et al.) in the fight for religious freedom.
