This movie is a must see. It stars Jeremy Irons as a Jesuit priest and Robert DeNiro as a mercenary turned Priest and the plot centers around who will get control of the Mission Territories in South America. A mission is set up to minister to the Guarini Indians, and when they are told to abondon the mission, they decide to stay and defend it. Mendoza (DeNiro) will trust in the power of the sword, while Father Gabriel (Irons) will trust in the power of prayer. The movie features awe inspiring scenery and a very haunting sound track.
