Velkolepý projekt Mela Gibsona vypráví o starobylé říši Mayů a jejím zániku. Původ této kultury, její moudrý život a náhlá destrukce, je dosud opředena mnohými tajemstvími. Jde o vůbec první filmové zpracování této neobjasněné záhady. Hlavní hrdina Jaguáří tlapa se vydává na zběsilý útěk ze zajetí, aby zachránil nejen svůj život, ale i milovanou rodinu... Uznávaný, přesto nebo právě proto aférami obklopený, světoznámý režisér, scenárista, herec a producent v jedné osobě Mel Gibson při natáčení Apocalypta opět riskoval. Pro zvýšení autenticity se po celý film mluví neznámou řečí, původním mayským jazykem Yucatec, podobně jako v Umučení Krista.

MAXIMÓN - Devil or Saint (66min.) is a documentary about the controversial Maya deity, also known as San Simon or the drinking and smoking saint of Guatemala. He is a mixture of ancient Maya beliefs and Christianity. The movie concentrates on the people who surround Maximón with their strong personalities, opinions and faith. The documentary gives us a rare view into the rituals and fiestas honoring Maximón. The cult of Maximón is flourishing because he performs miracles.
