One Man's Hero is a 1999 film starring Tom Berenger and directed by Lance Hool. The film tells the story of Jon Riley and the Saint Patrick's Battalion, a group of Irish Catholic immigrants who desert from the mostly Protestant U.S. Army to the mostly Catholic Mexican side during the Mexican-American War of 1846 to 1848. The story centers around Riley and a couple men in his U.S. Battalion who are whipped for "desertion" when they travel to the Mexican side of the border to attend Mass. They escape to Mexico to hopefully find a ship back to Ireland only to find out that the U.S. and Mexico are now at war and if they are captured they could be hanged. Reconstrucción de uno de los episodios bélicos más espectaculares y olvidados de la guerra de México contra los EEUU, durante 1846, protagonizado por el batallón católico/irlandés de San Patricio.
