Apocalypto

A peaceful life in a Mayan community is shattered when an invading force captures a young man and takes him into a fearful, oppressive world. Driven by love for his family, he must make a desperate escape and undertake a perilous journey to return home.

My take

You’ll like this if you want an immersive, brutal survival chase with striking visuals and nonstop tension; Not for you if graphic violence or historically loose portrayals of Maya society are deal-breakers.
