Set in 16th-century Mexico, this historical adventure follows nobleman Pedro De Vargas (Tyrone Power) as he flees from Spain after offending an Inquisition officer. Pedro joins an expedition to Mexico alongside Cortez (Cesar Romero), an infamous conquistador, who changes the mission from exploration to conquering once they arrive in Mexico. In his journey across Mexico, Pedro falls in love with a beautiful woman (Jean Peters) and repeatedly avoids the clutches of the Inquisition. (Bounty Films)

This is a pretty classic historical film based on real events, but it has that Hollywood feel to it, where you get the feeling that it's all mainly for show, although towards the end it's clear that there was a message there for the viewer. My main takeaway is that I still incredibly like Technicolor colors.
