Sweeping and visually resplendent, The Mission is a powerful action epic about a man of the sword (Robert DeNiro - Taxi Driver) and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons - Kingdom Of Heaven) who unite to shield a South American Indian tribe from brutal subjugation by 18th-century colonial empires.

Reuniting key talents behind The Killing Fields: co-producer David Puttnam, director Roland Joffe and cinematographer Chris Menges. Winner of the 1986 Cannes Film Festival Best Picture Award, this film earned seven Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture) and won a Best Cinematography Oscar. Robert Bolt's throughtful screenplay and Ennio Morricone's rich score won Golden Globe Awards.

The Mission is screen storytelling that weaves a haunting spell. Add to your list now.
