 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Lost City of Z is a 2017 film written and directed by James Gray, based on the non-fiction book of the same name telling the story of British adventurer Percy Fawcett's quest to find a lost civilization in the Amazon.In 1906, the Royal Geographic Society asks then-Major Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) to trace the border between Brazil and Bolivia, as the two countries are seeking a neutral party to head off a boundary war. Despite enduring a classic River of Insanity voyage, Fawcett and his faithful aide-de-camp Henry Costin (Robert Pattinson) succeed in the mission and become fascinated by some pottery and carvings deep in the jungle where supposedly no humans — let alone civilized humans — had ever lived. Fawcett takes the then-unpopular position that the peoples of the Amazon built a sophisticated culture, which doubles as a critique of imperial attitudes toward the land and its natives. He becomes obsessed with proving his case, rather to the detriment of his family life, but learns a great deal about the jungle, its inhabitants, and himself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Ambiguous Ending: Percy and Jack are captured by natives and taken through some kind of ritual, but their ultimate fates are not seen. Fawcett's wife, Nina, says that she's heard a report that they're living among Indians, and produces Percy's compass as evidence.

 The Alcoholic: Fawcett's father was this, leaving him with a chip on his shoulder regarding the family honor. Costin also appears to be this at the beginning, but surviving the enforced sobriety of the jungle seems to set him straight.

 Bait-and-Switch: When biologist and polar explorer James Murray (Angus Macfadyen) accuses Fawcett of abandoning him (see Hate Sink below for the back story), Fawcett protests that not only did he save Murray's life, he did so facing resistance from his men, who by then were ready to Just Eat Gilligan. When Murray continues to insist that he apologize, Fawcett finally says, "Very well, I will apologize...to my men!".
