Plot

Missionaries and mercenaries meet in the Amazon.

Sinekatalog’s take

Héctor Babenco's Amazon epic puts missionaries, mercenaries and an indigenous tribe on a collision course. Tom Berenger, John Lithgow and Daryl Hannah star in a sprawling, uneven but striking jungle drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
