Directed by the visionary filmmaker Werner Herzog, this visually stunning adventure unravels in the early 20th century, as Fitzgerald, known as Fitzcarraldo, hatches an audacious plan to achieve his grandiose dream.

Set against the backdrop of the dense Amazon rainforest, Fitzcarraldo's ambition pushes him to overcome numerous obstacles – including treacherous rapids, hostile indigenous tribes, and the skepticism of others – to reach his goal. Alongside his devoted crew, Fitzcarraldo endeavors to transport a large steamship over a mountain, an astounding feat that serves as a metaphor for his indomitable will and unwavering resolve.
