THE LOST CITY OF Z opens wide April 21
An Amazon Studios and Bleecker Street release
Percey Fawcett and his exploits were the inspiration for his friend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel “The Lost World”, as well as an inspiration for the character of “Indiana Jones”. Fawcett’s explorations continue to fascinate people around the world, and this adaptation of David Grann’s book brings his story to life.
Based on author David Grann’s nonfiction bestseller, The Lost City of Z tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages,” the determined Fawcett — supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide-de-camp (Robert Pattinson) — returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925. An epically scaled tale of courage and passion, told in writer/director James Gray’s classic filmmaking style, The Lost City of Z is a stirring tribute to the exploratory spirit and a conflicted adventurer driven to the verge of obsession.
