|
| | | Every Ending is a New Beginning.
From Academy Award winning filmmaker Mel Gibson (The Passion of the Christ, Braveheart), comes Apocalypto: A heart-stopping mythic action-adventure set against the turbulent end times of the once great Mayan civilization. When his idyllic existence is brutally disrupted by a violent invading force, a man 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.
