Description: Set during the Mayan civilization, *Apocalypto* tells the story of a man whose peaceful life is shattered by a brutal invasion. Captured by a violent force, he is thrust into a terrifying world ruled by fear and oppression, facing a grim fate. Driven by his love for his family and a twist of destiny, he embarks on a desperate journey to escape, return home, and save his way of life.
While hunting in the Mesoamerican rainforest, Jaguar Paw, his father Flint Sky, and their tribesmen encounter refugees fleeing war. The leader explains their lands were destroyed and they seek a new beginning, asking for passage through the jungle. Flint Sky warns Jaguar Paw never to let fear consume him.
At dawn, the village is raided by Zero Wolf and his warriors. Homes are burned, many are killed, and the survivors are taken prisoner. Jaguar Paw hides his pregnant wife Seven and their young son Turtles Run in a pit cave to protect them. During the chaos, he is captured after attempting to kill the ruthless Middle Eye, who murders Flint Sky and mocks Jaguar Paw by renaming him “Almost.” The captives are forced on a grueling march through the jungle, leaving Seven and Turtles Run trapped in the pit, struggling to survive.
