Nacho Libre is a film starring Jack Black directed by Jared Hess of Napoleon Dynamite fame. The movie is set within the world of wrestling or lucha libre in Mexico.

The script is by Jared Hess, Jerusha Hess and Mike White. The producers are Jack Black, David Klawans, Julia Pistor and Mike White. The musical score is done by Beck. It is set for a June 16, 2006 release by Paramount Pictures. The date was originally set to be May 2006, but it was changed recently by Paramount, most likely to avoid competition from X-Men 3: The Last Stand and other big spring/summer movies. It is now placed in between the releases of Disney/Pixar's Cars (June 9) and Warner's Superman Returns (June 28). The film is rated PG according to the MPAA for some rough action and crude humor, including dialogue.

Plot

Nacho (Jack Black) is a man without skills. After growing up in a Mexican monastery, he is now a grown man and the monastery’s cook, but doesn’t seem to fit in. Nacho cares deeply for the orphans he feeds, but his food is terrible – mostly, if you ask him, a result of his terrible ingredients. He realizes he must hatch a plan to make money to buy better food for “the young orphans, who have nothing” (…and if in doing so Nacho can impress the lovely Sister Encarnación, that would be a big plus).

When Nacho is struck by the idea to earn money as a Lucha Libre wrestler, he finds that he has a natural, raw talent for wrestling. As he teams with his rail-thin, unconventional partner, Esqueleto (the Skeleton), Nacho feels for the first time in his life that he has something to fight for and a place where he belongs.

As Lucha is strictly forbidden by the church elders at the monastery, Nacho is forced to lead a double life. Disguised by a sky blue mask, Nacho conceals his true identity as he takes on Mexico’s most famous wrestlers and takes on a hilarious quest to make life a little sweeter at the orphanage.
