What is El Topo about? 
El Topo is a surreal and violent odyssey through a desert dreamscape, following the mystical journey of a master-gunfighter and his naked young son.

Trickery and luck guide El Topo through his battles until he faces his greatest challenge and is left ridden with guilt and self-doubt.
