Sports comedy-drama film starring Jack Black, Héctor Jiménez, Ana de la Reguera, Peter Stormare.<br /><br />Nacho Libre is loosely based on the story of Fray Tormenta ("Friar Storm"), aka Rev. Sergio Gutierrez Benitez, a real-life Mexican Catholic priest who had a 23-year career as a masked luchador. He competed in order to support the orphanage he directed.<br /><br />Ignacio's parents, a Scandinavian Lutheran missionary and a Mexican deacon, both died while he was still a baby. Now a cook for the Oaxaca monastery orphanage where he was raised, Ignacio dreams of becoming a luchador, but wrestling is strictly forbidden by the monastery as it is considered a sin of vanity. Though Ignacio cares deeply for the orphans, he is unable to provide decent meals for them due to a lack of funds. He also struggles with his feelings for Sister Encarnación, a nun who teaches at the orphanage. One night, while collecting a bag of tortilla chips for the orphans, Ignacio is mugged by a street thief named Steven. After a fight between the two, Ignacio decides to disregard the monastery's rules and become a luchador to make money. He convinces Steven to join him by promising to share the prize money if they win, and the two join a local competition as tag partners.<br /><br />Read more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacho_Libre
