Santiago! is a 1970 Philippine war drama and action film directed by Lino Brocka and starring Fernando Poe Jr. and Dante Rivero. Set during World War II, the film depicts a weary guerrilla, Gonzalo, who withdraws from the battlefield. The film is the second directorial assignment of Brocka following his debut offering "Wanted: Perfect Mother". The film is also the first and only collaboration of Brocka and Poe, and features a rare scene featuring FPJ shedding a tear. The film is likewise notable for being the vehicle for Hilda Koronel's acting debut which also brought her her first acting award.
