Synopsis:
UNDER THE VOLCANO is John Huston's screen adaptation of Malcolm Lowery's powerful meditation on self-destruction and personal despair. The hero is Geoffrey Firmin, an alcoholic ex-British consul living in Mexico on the eve of World War II, who has cut himself off from his loved ones. Tormented by his wife's unfaithfulness, Firmin celebrates the Day of the Dead by drinking himself to death despite his wife and her lover's efforts to save him.
