The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta
An action-packed blend of folk tale, romance, epic, and myth, The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta tells the story of the Gold Rush-era Mexican immigrant Joaquín Murieta, whose efforts to find fortune and happiness are thwarted by white settlers who murder his family and drive him off his land. In retaliation, Murieta organizes a band of more than 2,000 outlaws – including the sadistic “Three-Fingered Jack” – who take revenge by murdering, stealing horses, and robbing miners, all with the ultimate goal of reconquering California.
