Directed by Robert Rodriguez from a screenplay by Kyle Ward and based on a story by Marcel Rodriguez and Robert Rodríguez, “Machete Kills” is the sequel to the 2010 hit film “Machete” – which has built a devoted legion of fans since its release – and is the second film in a trilogy.

In “Machete Kills”, Danny Trejo returns as ex-Federale agent Machete, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man – he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.
