The Mission (1986)

A captivating journey where Rodrigo Mendoza, portrayed by Robert De Niro, transforms from a ruthless slave trader into a Jesuit seeking redemption. His path intertwines with Father Gabriel, who, armed only with faith and a flute, establishes the mission of San Carlos in the lush jungle above the Iguazu Falls. As years pass, their camaraderie faces a dramatic test when conflicting ideologies clash: sword and the potency of prayer. A compelling tale of redemption, faith, and struggle.
