Road to Juarez is a 2013 action-thriller movie directed by David De Leon and stars William Forsythe, Walter Perez, and Charley Koontz in the lead roles. The movie takes place along the US-Mexico border and explores the seedy underbelly of drug trafficking, human smuggling, and corruption that exists in the region. At the center of the story is Ben (played by Walter Perez), a young man working as a security guard in a warehouse in Texas. He stumbles upon a conspiracy involving his boss, Frank (played by William Forsythe), who is a drug lord involved in human smuggling. When Ben tries to go to the authorities, he becomes the target of Frank's henchmen and is forced to flee to Mexico.

On his way to Mexico, Ben meets Eddie (played by Charley Koontz), a nerdy college student on vacation with his friends. Eddie unwittingly gets caught up in Ben's troubles and decides to help him reach his destination safely.

As Ben and Eddie journey towards Juarez, they encounter several obstacles in the form of corrupt border patrol agents, ruthless smugglers, and trigger-happy gunmen. They also form an unlikely bond and rely on each other for survival.

The story also interweaves the perspectives of several other characters, including Frank's sadistic henchman, Rico (played by William Bloomfield), and a journalist named Adriana (played by Maria del Carmen Farias) who is investigating the human trafficking ring.

Road to Juarez is a tense and gritty movie that highlights the dangerous reality of life along the US-Mexico border. The movie tackles several socio-political issues, including corruption, poverty, and violence, and showcases the plight of individuals caught in the crossfire.

William Forsythe delivers a menacing performance as the film's antagonist, Frank, who is willing to go to any lengths to maintain his empire. Walter Perez is convincing as the movie's hero, Ben, who is trying to make things right despite the odds stacked against him. Charley Koontz provides the comic relief as Eddie, the unlikely ally who proves to be a valuable asset to Ben's journey.

The movie is shot in a cinéma vérité style, which gives it a gritty and realistic feel. The action sequences are well-executed, and the tension is palpable in every scene. The film's score is also noteworthy, with the music adding to the film's atmosphere and pacing.

Overall, Road to Juarez is a well-crafted movie that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
