Caiga quien caiga (lit. 'Whoever that fails') is a 2018 Peruvian political thriller film, based on the homonymous book written by José Ugaz. The film was directed and produced by Eduardo Guillot Meave,[1] and starred Miguel Iza as Vladimiro Montesinos.[2]

In September 2000, the first vladivideo was revealed, a recording in which the presidential adviser Vladimiro Montesinos bribed Alberto Kouri, an opposition congressman, to vote for favor of the government. After that, the government of Alberto Fujimori faces a crisis that would lead to its end; likewise, the presidential adviser is accused of corruption and persecuted by the dying Fujimori regime.[3][4]

Vladimiro Montesinos flees to Panama where he is unable to obtain political asylum, so he returns to Peru. Justice issues an arrest warrant against him and the president Alberto Fujimori is part of police operations to search for him. However, Montesinos manages to escape on the sailboat Karisma to Costa Rica and then to Venezuela.
