LOGLINE: Set during the Philippine-American war of 1899, a brilliant and fiery Filipino general faces an enemy more treacherous than the American army: his own countrymen.
General Antonio Luna (John Arcilla), commander of the revoluitonary army, is spoiling for a fight. After three hundred years as a Spanish colony, the Philippines must endure a new foreign power: the United States of America. General Luna wants to fight for freedom but members of the elite wants to strike a deal with the Americans. The infighting is fierce in the new cabinet but General Luna and his loyal men forge ahead even as his military decisions are met with resistance from soldiers who are loyal only to President Aguinaldo (Mon Confiado). Ultimately, it is the general's legendary temper and pride that bring him to his death when a pack of presidential bodyguards assassinate him in broad daylight. While American newspapers blame Aguinaldo, the mystery of General Luna's death was never completely solved and his killers never put to justice.
