Following a devastating loss, it looks like the end of the road for Esteban “La Máquina” Osuna’s (Gael García Bernal) boxing career. Estaban’s manager Andy (Diego Luna) doesn’t agree, but is he really trying to get his supposed best friend back to the top, or more worried that his cash cow is about to be put out to pasture? In any case, he determines to arrange a rematch for Esteban that could revive his career. 

The shady Otras Personas organisation aren’t quite so keen to see Esteban holding gold again though, and, coupled with the former champion’s increasingly troubling hallucinations, raise the stakes of the big fight to life or death. 

Led by two of the best actors Mexico has to offer, the boxing drama could be an addictive binge. So read on for how to watch La Máquina online, on TV and from anywhere.
