Flamin’ Hot is the inspiring true story of Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia), who as a Frito Lay janitor disrupted the food industry by channeling his Mexican American heritage to turn Flamin’ Hot Cheetos from a snack into an iconic global pop culture phenomenon.
Eva Longoria captures Richard’s inspirational story in her feature directorial debut. In an Entertainment article, Eva said, “I knew immediately I wanted to put the movie in his point of view, from his perspective. And the minute we did that, we had creative liberty to do whatever we wanted. We’re in his mind, we’re in his heart.”
Flamin’ Hot made my family laugh and feel proud to see our culture and people on the big screen.
Don’t miss this uplifting, feel-good family movie!
