The film is about a Maya tribesman, Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood) and his journey from the jungle (where he lived with his expectant wife and son) to the Maya city, where he was to be sacrificed after being captured by a ruthless tribe, and then his escape back to the jungle where he tries to outwit and outlast his pursuers and return to his family. Apocalypto, the new film by Passion of the Christ director Mel Gibson, reunites the director with composer James Horner, who had worked with Gibson previously on Braveheart and The Man Without a Face. ![]()
