Érase una vez en México (known in English as Once Upon a Time in Mexico ) is the explosive final chapter of director Robert Rodriguez's "Mexico Trilogy," which also includes El Mariachi and Desperado . Released in 2003, the film serves as a grand, neo-Western finale that transitions the series from gritty, low-budget action into a sprawling epic of international espionage and political revolution.
