A leading figure in the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and early 1970s, he seemed to be everyhwere and have a profound influence on everyone in El Movimiento. In 1974, after a last phone call to his son, Acosta disappeared in the Mexican state of Mazatlan.'Bandido' reconstructs - even reinvents - the man behind the myth.
