In the 1750s, a Spanish Jesuit priest, Father Gabriel (Jeremy Irons, Dead Ringers, Lolita) enters the South American jungle to build a mission and convert a community of Guaraní Indians to Christianity.
A mercenary and slaver, Rodrigo Mendoza (two-time Academy Award ® winning actor Robert De Niro), makes his living kidnapping native Indians and selling them to the nearby plantations. After slaying his brother Felipe (Aidan Quinn) in a duel fought over his fiancée, Mendoza spirals into guilt and depression before Father Gabriel challenges Mendoza to undertake a suitable penance.
Mendoza joins the mission and together he and Father Gabriel work to help care for the Guaraní tribe. Unknown to them a new treaty is signed between Portugal and Spain that sounds the death knell of the Jesuit missions. Father Gabriel and Mendoza find themselves fighting those sent to suppress them – the one armed with the love of God, the other with the sword.
The Mission won the Palme d'Or and the Academy Award® for Best Cinematography and ranks as one of the greatest contemporary adventure films.
