The Mission is a powerful action epic about a man of the sword (Robert De Niro) and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons) who unite to shield a South American Indian tribe from brutal subjugation by 18th-century colonial empires.
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®. Robert Bolt’s thoughtful screenplay and Ennio Morricone’s rich score won Golden Globe® Awards.
