Alex. Cox's film has had a certain influence in the United States. The main story is that in the middle of the 19th century, the idealist William Walker, at the invitation of the American capitalist Cornelius Vanderbilt, led a group of outlaws to invade the Central American country of Nicaragua, not only occupying the territory, but also claiming to be the president of the country. Because he believes that "Americans have an obligation to protect their neighbors from oppression." Based on historical events, the story makes a bold and in-depth discussion of American aggression. The whole film is magnificent and magnificent. Ed Harris, who starred in "the Heart", plays William Walker, the beacon monster, in this film, which is quite outstanding and shocking.
