Apocalypto

ActionAdventureDramaThriller139 min

In the Yucatán around 1511, a young hunter’s life is shattered when raiders destroy his village and march the survivors toward a Maya city ruled by fear, slavery, and human sacrifice. Rudy Youngblood is Jaguar Paw, cut off from his family and forced into a fight to get home, while Raoul Max Trujillo’s Zero Wolf stands at the head of the invading force. Mel Gibson directs with a focus on dense jungle terrain, ritual spectacle, and the pressure of pursuit as the story moves from forest village to the center of a civilization in decline.
