Jaguar Paws heavily pregnant wife Seven Dalia Hernndez and their young son Turtles Run Carlos Emilio Bez escape by hiding in a small natural pit cave that also serves as a water reservoir, but are left trapped when Jaguar Paw is captured. The raiders then lead the captives on a long forced march through the jungle, having left the children behind to fend for themselves. On the journey Cocoa Leaf Israel Ros, a badly wounded captive, is killed by the sadistic Middle Eye Gerardo Taracena, eliciting anger from Zero Wolf, who threatens his fellow raider with death if he kills another captive without permission. As the party approaches the Mayan city from which the raiders come, they encounter razed forests and failed maize crops, along with villages decimated by an unknown disease. A little girl Mara Isidra Hoil infected with the illness prophesies Zero Wolfs death and the end of the Mayan world. Once the raiders and captives reach the city the females are sold as slaves while the males are escorted to the top of a step pyramid to be sacrificed before the Mayan King Rafael Velez and Queen Diana Botello.

After some tribesmen are killed, Jaguar Paw is severely injured but kills Zero Wolfs son Cut Rock Ricardo Daz Mendoza and escapes into the jungle. Zero Wolf sets off with eight comrades to chase down and kill Jaguar Paw. Back in his native jungle, Jaguar Paw now has the advantage, although he is badly injured. Most of his pursuers including Zero Wolf and Middle Eye are gradually killed off via clever conceits and traps laid out by Jaguar Paw until there are only two left to hunt him. The drought breaks and heavy rain begins to fall, threatening to drown Jaguar Paws family, who are still trapped in the pit cave despite their attempts to escape. Seven gives birth to another son, who is born into the now dangerously rising water. Meanwhile, the two remaining raiders chase Jaguar Paw out of the undergrowth towards the coast. As they reach the beach, all three are stopped in their tracks by the sight of conquistador ships anchored off the coast and Europeans making their way ashore holding up a large cross. Jaguar Paw escapes while the two raiders remain, seemingly mesmerized at the conquistadors presence. Jaguar Paw returns in time to save his family from the flooded pit. He is overjoyed at the sight of his new baby son. Sometime later, as the reunited family look out over the water at the Spanish ships, Jaguar Paw decides not to risk approaching the conquistadors, insisting his family head back into the jungle. They depart in search of a new home. Ariel Galvn as Hanging Moss. Fernando Hernandez as High Priest. Rafael Velez as Maya King. Diana Botello as Maya Queen. Bernardo Ruiz Jurez as Drunkards Four.

ProductioneditScreenplayeditScreenwriter and co producer Farhad Safinia first met Mel Gibson while working as an assistant during the post production of The Passion of the Christ. Eventually, Gibson and Safinia found time to discuss their mutual love of movies and what excites them about moviemaking. We started to talk about what to do next, but we specifically spent a lot of time on the action chase genre of filmmaking. Those conversations essentially grew into the skeleton of Apocalypto. We wanted to update the chase genre by, in fact, not updating it with technology or machinery but stripping it down to its most intense form, which is a man running for his life, and at the same time getting back to something that matters to him. Gibson said they wanted to shake up the stale action adventure genre, which he felt was dominated by CGI, stock stories and shallow characters and to create a footchase that would feel like a car chase that just keeps turning the screws. Gibson and Safinia were also interested in portraying and exploring an ancient culture as it existed before the arrival of the Europeans. Considering both the Aztecs and the Maya, they eventually chose the Maya for their high sophistication and their eventual decline.
