Set amid the breathtaking landscapes of 18th-century South America, Roland Joffé’s Palme d’Or-winning epic follows Jesuit priest Father Gabriel as he establishes a mission among the Guaraní people. When remorseful slave trader Rodrigo Mendoza seeks redemption, he joins Gabriel’s community, only for both men to face a devastating threat as colonial powers redraw borders and place the Guaraní in danger. Their shared cause ultimately forces them towards very different choices. Starring Jeremy Irons and Robert De Niro, The Mission is a powerful story of faith, conscience, redemption and resistance, accompanied by Ennio Morricone’s unforgettable score.
