Nacho Libre 2006 Film Recap Jack Black, Héctor Jiménez, Ana de la Reguera, Peter Stormare Best Scenes
Sports comedy-drama film starring Jack Black, Héctor Jiménez, Ana de la Reguera, Peter Stormare.
Nacho Libre is loosely based on the story of Fray Tormenta ("Friar Storm"), aka Rev. Sergio Gutierrez Benitez, a real-life Mexican Catholic priest who had a 23-year career as a masked luchador. He competed in order to support the orphanage he directed.
Ignacio's parents, a Scandinavian Lutheran missionary and a Mexican deacon, both died while he was still a baby. Now a cook for the Oaxaca monastery orphanage where he was raised, Ignacio dreams of becoming a luchador, but wrestling is strictly forbidden by the monastery as it is considered a sin of vanity. Though Ignacio cares deeply for the orphans, he is unable to provide decent meals for them due to a lack of funds. He also struggles with his feelings for Sister Encarnación, a nun who teaches at the orphanage. One night, while collecting a bag of tortilla chips for the orphans, Ignacio is mugged by a street thief named Steven. After a fight between the two, Ignacio decides to disregard the monastery's rules and become a luchador to make money. He convinces Steven to join him by promising to share the prize money if they win, and the two join a local competition as tag partners.
