Description:
Sweeping and visually resplendent, The Mission is a powerful action epic about a man of the sword and a man of the cloth who unite to shield a South American indian tribe from brutal subjugation by 18th-century colonial empires. It reunites key talents behind The Killing Fields. Winner of the 1986 Cannes Film Festival Best Picture Award, the film earned seven Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture) and won a Best Cinematography Oscar. The Mission is screen storytelling that weaves a haunting spell.
