Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Set in Mexico during the 1850s, the film tells the story of Sara Sandoval (Salma Hayek) and MarÃ­a Ãlvarez (PenÃ©lope Cruz). MarÃ­a is an uneducated, poor farm-girl whose caring father is being forced off his land by a cruel U.S. land baron, named Tyler Jackson (Dwight Yoakam). Sara is the highly educated, wealthy daughter of the arrogant owner of the nearby properties, and has recently returned from Europe where she attended numerous grade schools and colleges in England, Spain, and France for several years. In one fell swoop, both MarÃ­a's and Sara's fathers fall under attack by the baron, (Sara's father is killed, MarÃ­a's is shot but survives) giving him free rein in the nearby territories. As an act of revenge, MarÃ­a and Sara team up to become bank robbers, stealing and giving back to the poor Mexicans who had lost their lands.At first, the two are catty and quick to fight over the smallest matters over their different backgrounds, but under the tutelage of famed bank robber Bill Buck they learn to trust each other. During a training session, the two women are testing their strength by hanging off a cliff over a wide river, and at the last moment MarÃ­a swallows her pride and tells Sara she can't swim. MarÃ­a nearly drowns but is saved by Sara, and it is then that the two women put aside their differences and agree that, while they are not friends yet, they can at least work together as partners. MarÃ­a turns out to be a crack shot and, while Sara can barely hold a gun, she shows that she is an expert with throwing knives.Angered by the recent attacks by the newly infamous 'Bandidas', Jackson brings in a specialist criminal investigator named Quentin Cooke. It doesn't take long for Sara and MarÃ­a to hear of this, and they quickly capture Cooke and seduce him to help them. He has already figured out that Sara's father was murdered and therefore discovers that his employer is actually a criminal.Now there are three robbers, each playing their part in bigger, more ambitious heists. As time goes on, the girls compete for Quentin's affections, which he rebukes because he is engaged. In a move to make the money they have stolen useless, Jackson moves the gold that backs the money on a train up towards U.S. territories. Midway, he decides to steal the gold, betraying the Mexican government. The Bandidas manage to hunt him down, but when they get their chance to kill him, they can't, feeling it would make them no better than him. Jackson manages to draw his gun and almost gets a shot off at MarÃ­a but Sara shoots first, finishing the villain off. In the end Quentin ends up with his fiancÃ©e and MarÃ­a and Sara ride off into the sunset, their eyes set on Europe where the banks are, according to Sara, "bigger".
Output (English): Question: what happened to sara's father?, Answer: he was murdered
