Rodrigo Mendoza (ROBERT DE NIRO) was a violent soldier-for-hire in 1750s South America. Now he is a man of peace serving the Rain Forest Indians he once enslaved. But armies of Spain and Portugal threaten the lifestyle and safety of the native peoples. Now Rodrigo may have to pick up his sword and musket once again.

Roland Joffé (The Killing Fields) directs this fuzzy effort at a David Lean-like epic without David Lean’s sense of emotional proportion.
