Man of La Mancha

In the volatile days of the Spanish Inquisition, the writer Miguel de Cervantes and his manservant make livings as tax collectors but soon find themselves imprisoned after being accused of crimes against the church. Now facing the wrath of their fellow inmates, Cervantes must persuade the unruly bunch not to burn his prized manuscript -- by performing it for them. With the help of a prostitute, they begin the tale of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.
