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.
