The Lost City Of Z (2016)

Persistence in the face of ridicule is the mark of every true explorer, even when the destination stays just out of reach. James Gray's "The Lost City of Z," based on David Grann's best-selling book, tells the true story of British Army officer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who in 1906 is sent by the Royal Geographical Society to map the uncharted border between Bolivia and Brazil. Deep in the Amazon, he finds evidence of an advanced ancient civilization he comes to call "Z." Mocked by a scientific establishment that dismisses the region's Indigenous peoples as savages, Fawcett returns to the jungle again and again, despite the toll on his family and the interruption of World War I. Supported by his devoted wife, Nina (Sienna Miller), his loyal aide-de-camp, Henry Costin (Robert Pattinson), and eventually his son, Jack (Tom Holland), he refuses to give up on his dream - until his mysterious disappearance in 1925. It's a haunting, beautifully crafted adventure.
