Baseado em fatos reais, o filme retrata uma greve dos mineiros de origem mexicana, no Novo México. Com exceção de cinco atores, o elenco é composto por não-profissionais, a maioria participantes na greve real. O filme é profético ao descrever a participação das esposas dos trabalhadores oprimidos, uma antecipação do movimento de emancipação feminina que surgiria uma década mais tarde. Num contexto de injustiça social, desenrola-se um drama familiar vivido por Ramon e Esperanza Quintero, um mineiro de origem mexicana e sua esposa. No decorrer da greve, os papeis de Ramon e Esperanza invertem-se: um mandado de segurança contra os grevistas masculinos faz com que as mulheres assumam as atividades piqueteiras, deixando aos homens as tarefas domésticas. As mulheres evoluem de uma posição de subordinação para igualdade, aliadas em busca do objetivo comum.
