      Mexico has never clinched a World Cup title… but someone decided that was not a hurdle. "Mexico 86" tells the tale of Martín de la Torre, who discovered a way to scale to the top and secure the 1986 World Cup for Mexico by any means necessary, relying solely on ingenuity, boldness, and a complete lack of scruples. Because when winning on the field isn’t an option… there are always alternative strategies to employ. "Mexico 86" premieres on Netflix on June 5th.
