**Uncharted** (2022) is an American action-adventure film. It is based on the video game series of the same name developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The movie stars Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Sully. Supporting characters are played by Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas.

## Plot

Ten-year-old Nathan "Nate" and his five yeare older brother Sam live in an orphanage in Boston after the death of their parents. When they break into a museum and try to steal a historical map showing the route of Magellan's circumnavigation of the world, they are caught by the museum's security. Since this is already the third incident of that kind involving Sam, the orphanage throws him out. To avoid being brought to another institution, he flees. He promises Nate to return and get him out, too. He hangs a leather cord holding a ring around Nate's neck. The ring is said to go back to Francis Drake, who is said to have been an ancestor of the brothers. He also leaves Nate his lighter. Over the subsequent years, he sends Nate several postcards, but never returns.

Fifteen years later, adult Nate is on the way to his work as a bartender in New York City. Arriving there, he mixes a drink for a young woman. When lighting her cigarette, he steals her bracelet. A man in the bar addresses Nate about it. He presents himself as Victor "Sully" Sullivan and offers Nate a job. Nate declines and tells the man to go. After sully left the bar, nate Nate notices that the the bracelet is gone. Instead, he finds Sully's business card in his pocket. He goes to Sully's home, steals the key from the porter and enters the flat. There, he finds the historical map they tried to steal as children. Sully appears and tries to convince Nate to participate in the search for the treasure hidden by the Magellan crew. He tells Nate that he had cooperated with Sam and that they found the lost diary of Maggellan's captain, but that Sam therafter had disappeared. Nate tells him he only came for the bracelet, gets it back and leaves. When he arrives home, he opens a box holding old things stowed away. He flips through Sam's postcards and hangs the leather necklace with the ring around his neck again. Hoping to find Sam during this search, Nate calls Sully and agrees to help him.

Sully and Nate meet on the street near an auction house. Sully shows Nate a leaflet of a golden cross which is to be auctioned and which serves as one of two keys to Magellan's treasure. They plan for Nate to cut the power and for Sully to steal the cross in the confusion. At the auction, they meet Santiago Moncada, the last descendant of the Moncada family that had financed Magellan's expedition, who claims the treasure for himself. They also meet Jo Braddock, a former partner of Sully, who is now the leader of Moncada's mercenaries. While trying to cut the power, Nate is ambushed by the mercenaries. In the distraction created by the ensuing fight, Sully manages to steal the cross and can also prevent Braddock from getting it back.

They fly to Barcelona, where they meet of Chloe Frazer, who has a second cross. Together, they find a secret crypt in a church in Barcelona. The two crosses serve as keys to open a secret passage, where Nate and Chloe find a map that reveals that the treasure is in the Philippines. Chloe betrays Nate, takes the map and brings it to Moncada, her secret employer.

Moncada, Chloe and Braddock's team are going to leave on a cargo plane to find the treasure. Nate and Sully track down the plane and sneak on board. During the flight, Braddock kills Moncada, whereupon Chloe hides with the map. Nate and Sully confront Braddock. During the ensuing fight, Sully parachutes out of the plane, while Nate and Chloe escape together with the help of an equipment unit that was supposed to be dropped in the target area. They land in the Philippines, and Nate finds out the true location of the treasure through clues on Sam's postcards. Not trusting Chloe, he gives her false coordinates. He discovers Magellan's ships alone and reunites with Sully.

Braddock follows them and has their crew lift the ships with helicopters. Sully captures one of the helicopters, and Nate shoots down the other helicopter with one of the ship's cannons. In the final confrontation between Braddock and Nate, Sully throws a bag of collected treasure at Braddock. She is crushed to death as the ship breaks up and crashes. When Filipino naval units arrive, Nate and Sully get away with some collected treasure, while Chloe comes up empty.
