Plot Summary: When his idyllic existence is brutally disrupted by a violent invading force, a man (Mauricio Amuy Tenorio) is taken on a perilous journey to a world ruled by fear and oppression where a harrowing end awaits him. Through a twist of fate and spurred by the power of his love for his woman and his family he will make a desperate break to return home and to ultimately save his way of life. Apocalypto is a heart stopping mythic action-adventure set against the turbulent end times of the once great Mayan civilization and an allegory for the world we live in today.
