The Lost City of Z is the new film from acclaimed filmmaker James Gray (The Yards, We Own the Night) and we are happy to exclusively unveil a brand new clip taken from the action adventure.

Based on the book of the same name by David Grann, the film details real events about British explorer Colonel Percy Fawcett who was hailed as one of the great archaeologists of the Victorian era.

Surviving in the South American wilderness for years at a time, Fawcett - played in the film by Charlie Hunnam - mapped huge swathes of the unexplored Amazon and ventured into regions no other explorer dared to go.

The more he explored the jungle, the more he realised that the Amazon and its people were not what others assumed them to be, connecting with the indigenous tribes in ways nobody expected.

Gray's previous film was 2013's The Immigrant which starred Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Renner and his We Own the Night lead Joaquin Phoenix.
