600 millas

Arnulfo Rubio smuggles weapons from the USA to Mexico for his father’s deadly Mexican drug cartel. What he does not know, is that Hank Harris, member of the US Federal Police Authority’s ATF, has been trailing him for some time. Following a disastrous encounter between the two, Arnulfo distraughtly decides to take the agent hostage and hand him over to his people back in Mexico. During the long journey across the Arizonian desert to Culiacán, the two slowly begin to bond, leaving Arnulfo wondering which side he is actually fighting for. This highly regarded debut by Gabriel Ripstein, son of Mexican film legend Arturo, is a fascinating blend of hostage thriller, road movie and psychological drama. 600 MILLAS shows that the drug route between the USA and Mexico is not a one way road.
