Highlighted in the 2012 documentary film is Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, more widely known as El Santo, or in English The Saint, a former Mexican Luchador enmascarado (Spanish for masked professional wrestler), film actor, and folk hero. El Santo, along with Blue Demon and Mil Máscaras, is one of the most famous and iconic of all Mexican luchadores, and has been referred to as one of "the greatest legends in Mexican sports." His wrestling career spanned nearly five decades, during which he became a folk hero and a symbol of justice for the common man through his appearances in comic books and movies. He is said to have popularized professional wrestling in Mexico just as Rikidōzan did in Japan or Hulk Hogan did in the United States of America.
