As Spanish power waned in Europe, one of the favored games of European powers was to replace one Spanish king with another. By the time of Napoleon, the Spanish monarch was Fernando VII (1784-1833), who held and lost that throne many times at the whim of his father, Napoleon, European powers, and the Spanish people themselves. This epic war film tells of the exploits of Mina (Jose Alonzo), a Spanish guerrilla who fought against Napoleon and later struggled against Fernando VII in Mexico, as that nation fought for independence. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
