BANDIDAS

It is the year 1880. The lawless Wild West stretches into Mexico. Everything seems to divide Sara (Salma Hayek), the daughter of a rich banker, and Maria(Penélope Cruz), raised in a family of poor farmers, until Tyler Jackson, a representative of the New York Bank and Trust, unites them in tragedy, devastating both women’s families in order to take illegal control of Mexican lands in the name of the expansion of the U.S. railroad system. Determined to revenge the attacks on their fathers and protect the peasants‘ lands, Sara and Maria become bank robbers, holding up every Bank and Trust subsidiary in the region. Quentin, a novice police inspector, is sent to the scene to arrest the young women. He is soon won over to the cause of the two beautiful women. Meanwhile, Jackson and his men learn to fear the guns of the two women who have become known throughout the country as the „Bandidas“.
