Spoilers ahead
In 1905, a young British major named Percy Fawcett takes part in a stag hunt on an Irish baronial estate, organized for the visiting Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Despite his adept skills as a horseman and marksman—efficiently bringing down the stag—he receives little recognition at the after-hunt party.
Fast forward a year, Fawcett finds himself in London, meeting with officials from the Royal Geographical Society (RGS). They’re informed about potential conflict between Bolivia and Brazil over their shared border, which poses a significant threat to the region’s highly profitable rubber trade. The British government has been asked to conduct a survey of the area, giving Fawcett the perfect opportunity to lead his own expedition.
