Silent superstar actor Douglas Fairbanks produced this film which was a real leap forward for the action film. Fairbanks is the Robin Hood of old California Zorro. Fairbanks was known for doing his own stunts and in this film he is extremely impressive zipping around outwitting the evil colonial army.
In many ways this is still a very exciting film. The action scenes still stand the test of time and Fairbanks along with Chaplin was one of the early superstars of Hollywood. The screenplay was by Johnston McCulley. Fred Niblo the director of the original Ben Hur was behind the camera.
The film runs a fast paced 90 minutes.
