Golden Globe Nominee: Best Foreign Language Film
National Board of Review: Top Foreign Films
&nbsp;After a life in a city where he has been indifferent to the world around him, a wealthy physician in an unnamed Latin American Country who is nearing retirement and thinking about his legacy, decides to visit medical students who he has trained and sent to dangerous rural areas to serve indigenous communities. Never having given serious thought to the reality of the world around him, he is surprised to find himself slowly being immersed in a world of violent conflict, where powerless villagers and educated doctors alike are threatened and killed by “men with guns.” Men With Guns was filmed in Mexico with a cast that included many who had never seen a film.
“The film takes the form of a journey, sometimes harrowing, sometimes poetic. It has a backbone of symbolism, as many great stories do. As the doctor moves from the city to the country, from the shore to the mountains, he also moves through history.” – Roger Ebert, Chicogo Sun-Times
“John Sayles is the most courageous and decent storyteller working in American films today. He proves that again in ”Men With Guns.” ­Critic’s Pick – Janet Maslin, The New York Times
