Machete Kills

Machete Kills is an upcoming action film, written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. It is the second in a series that started with the 2010 film Machete (presaged by a fake trailer in Grindhouse). Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan and Michelle Rodriguez will be reprising their roles from the first film, and are joined by a slew of notable series newcomers.

Plot
The titular ex-federale agent (Danny Trejo) returns as he is recruited by the US President (Charlie Sheen) for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man - he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer (Mel Gibson) who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet by launching a deadly missile.
