During a highly secretive mission over the Amazon Rainforest, a
state-of-the-art cargo plane loses communication and goes down in the jungle. Concerned for the safety of the pilots as well as trying to retrieve the classified shipment of a synthetic narcotic seized by the DEA, the head of the Von Baron company turns to his three close friends to find the aircraft before anyone knows it's missing.
Driven by a sense of honor and duty, documentary filmmaker and college professor Cal Bailey and his two best friends, Kitt Walker and Jim Yukon Daniels, agree to venture into the uncharted land to rescue the pilots. After meeting twin sisters, Mel and Meg Mathews in the Peruvian city of Cusco, the five begin the trek, fully aware that time and the unknown are working against them.
Using a 500-year-old document as guide, Bailey tries to locate his quarry. However, he begins to uncover the clues to the elusive and tantalizing legend of El Dorado, the mysterious city of gold that is said to exist in the Amazonian ecosystem. Can Bailey and his friends avoid the multitude of obstacles that are hidden within the jungle and not only find the missing plane, but unlock the myth and survive where so many have failed before them?
