Set in 1949, the plot follows (played by Damián Alcázar), an unassuming and naive party member who is appointed as the interim mayor of San Pedro de los Saguaros, a remote and troubled town.
"La Ley de Herodes" is famous for the censorship it faced. The Mexican government at the time attempted to block its release, fearing its blatant critique of the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party). The attempt backfired, creating a "Streisand Effect" that made the film a massive box-office success and a symbol of the burgeoning movement for political change in Mexico.
