[Machine Translation] A mariachi with a guitar case washes up in a small Mexican town. At the same time, a hit man with a machine gun in his guitar case, bent on revenge against the gang, also arrives in town. Mistaken by the gang for a hit man, Mariachi finds himself the target of a death threat. Despite a low budget of only $7,000, the film won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. This film marked the director Robert Rodriguez's entry into Hollywood, and his subsequent hits "Desperado" and "From Dusk Till Dawn" have made him a household name around the world.
