The 1958 film "Manhunt in the Jungle" is about an expedition into Brazil's Mato Grosso jungle to locate
a missing pilot and a lost city.
British Naval Commander George M. Dyott (Robin Hughes) takes a group of men in 1928 to find the
missing British explorer Percy Fawcett. Fawcett had been looking for the famous "Lost City of Z" and
disappeared in 1926.
