      Movie Info

      Archbishop Óscar Romero (Raul Julia) is reluctant to get involved in a war that rages on between the military elite and guerrilla Marxists in his country of El Salvador. As conditions worsen and more churches are desecrated, however, he finds he cannot remain an observer. So Romero resorts to what he knows best: making speeches. The tenets he preaches are simply freedom and justice, but even so, he is seen as dangerous by the government and they are ready to retaliate.

      Audience Reviews for Romero

      • Mar 10, 2013
        When the film is not being emotionally exploitative, its actually a very effective argument for what made Archbishop Oscar Romero such a heroic and important figure. His refusal to support the corrupt government of El Salvador or the Marxist Rebels made his religious beliefs and practices all the more revolutionary because he served no one's political interests.

        A fantastic drama with good actors, and it's based on a true story. I love Raul Julia in this movie.
