Story-;
Nathan and Sam Drake are caught by security for trying to steal the first world map made after the Magellan exp edition. Because this is Sam’s third strike, the orphanage that houses both boys kicks Sam out and forces him to stay elsewhere, away from Nate. Nate goes to their room and catches Sam sneaking out to be on his own, but he promises his little brother that he will return for him. Sam leaves him with a ring belonging to their ancestor Sir Francis Drake, with the inscription “Sic Parvis Magna” (“Greatness from small beginnings”). Fifteen years later, Nathan works as a bartender in New York City and pickpockets wealthy patrons.
Victor “Sully” Sullivan, a fortune hunter who worked with Sam tracking treasure hidden by the Magellan crew, explains to Nathan that Sam vanished after helping him steal Juan Sebastian Elcano’s diary. Nathan, who has sev eral postcards Sam sent him over the years, agrees to help Sully to find his brother. Sully and Nathan go to an auction to steal a golden cross linked to the Magellan crew. There, the pair encounter Santiago Moncada, the last descendant of the Mon cada family (who funded the original expedition), and Jo Braddock, leader of mercenaries hired by Moncada.
Nathan is ambushed by Braddock’s men, and the ensuing fight creates a distraction for Sully (disguised as an auction attendant) to steal the cross. The duo travel to Barcelona, where the treasure is supposedly hidden, and rendezvous with Sully’s contact Chloe Frazer, who has another cross. Chloe steals the first cross from Nathan, but Nathan and Sully convince her to work with them. Meanwhile, Moncada confronts his father, Armando, up on learning the family fortune is being donated; after Armando states his son is not worthy of inheriting it, Mo ncada orders Braddock to kill him. Nathan, Chloe, and Sully follow clues in Elcano’s diary to Santa Maria del Pi, finding a secret crypt behind the altar.
Nathan and Chloe enter, finding a trap door, but as they open it, the crypt floods with water. Sully barely mana ges to help them escape after subduing an ambush by Braddock. Us ing the two crosses to unlock a secret pass age, Nathan and Chloe find a map that indicates the treasure is in the Philippines. Chloe betrays Nathan (having originally been hired by Moncada) and takes the map. Sully reunites with Nathan and says after he and Sam reco vered Elcano’s diary, they were ambushed by Braddock; Sam was shot and Sully narrowly escaped.
Moncada, Chloe, and Braddock’s team depart in a cargo plane to find the treasure, but Bra dd ock betrays and kills him; Nathan and Sully hide out on the plane. Nathan confronts Braddock while Sully pa rachutes out. Nat ha n is knocked out the plane with Chloe (who attempts to escape with the map after Mo nca da’s death) and the pa ir land in the Philippines, where they realize the map does not pinpoint the treasure. After surmising Sam may ha ve left a clue in his postcards, Nathan concludes the treasure’s location. Unsure over Chl oe’s loyalties, Nathan le aves her fake coordinates and finds the Magellan ships, reuniting with Sully.
Bradd ock follows them, forcing Nathan and Sully to hide as her crew airlift the ships.In their escape, Sully co mma ndeers one of the helicopters, causing Braddock to order the other helicopter to approach for a boarding action. Nathan defends himself from her mercenaries and shoots down the other helicopter with one of the shi p’s cannons. Br addock drops that ship’s anchor while Nathan climbs to the helicopter. Sully throws a bag of coll ected trea sure at Bra ddock, who is crushed to death when the ship breaks and falls. As Philippine naval units arrive, Nathan and Sully escape with a few pieces of pickpocketed treasure, while Chloe (who followed them by boat) is left empty handed.

Movie Review-;
Video game movies are a tricky proposition both because adapting existing material necessitates satisfying pre-existing fans and because jumping mediums can leave key elements lost in translation. But over the last decade, the folks behind the games have started to help shepherd their properties to the silver screen in a way that resp ects the material but also crafts something new. It was during that decade that the Uncharted movie eventually took shape, and has now arrived as a Tom Holland vehicle that does its best to honor Naughty Dog’s video game while still delivering an entertaining, popcorn action movie. “Uncharted,” you say? That’s a funny title for an acti on-adventure movie that doesn’t stray one inch from the well-trodden path of what came before it. “Indiana Jon es,” “National Treasure” and “The Mummy,” just to name a few, are all dead ringers for this poorly written buddy quest film — and leagues better, too. I suggest a different name for the latest entry in the genre: “Derivat iv e!”F or the die-hard Uncharted fans out there, this movie takes quite a few liberties with its characters. It’s best to know going in that this is a Nathan Drake (Holland) origin story. The film, directed by Ruben Fleischer, is meant to establish the first “job” under taken by Drake and Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) and as a result, a lot of the elements featured in the game’s Drake/Sully relationship are only slightly coming to the surface.
Uncharted also brings Chloe Frazer (Sophia Ali) into the mix, but her role is somewhat one-note. While Drake is constantly questioning Sully as a partner, Chloe reinforces the themes of betrayal among thieves. Despite how inviting she might be and Ali’s performance is solid, it feels as if she only exists to act as a count er point to Sully. In essence, to show the audience how Sully could act towards Drake. Sully, it turns out, is a friend of Nathan’s lost older brother, who abandoned him at an orphanage years earlier to explore the world. So, if they fin d the loot, chances are they find the big bro. The actors adopt a tired partner dynamic Wahlberg’s Sully is slow, masc uline and doesn’t know how to use a cellphone; Holland’s Nathan can do parkour and knows more about history than a tenured university professor. Siri could write this.Outside some gripes about the charac teriz atio ns of Drake and Sully, Uncharted carries the spirit of the games well. It has a great sense of adventure in the way it develops the hunt for Magellan’s treasure. The action sequences are exciting and unique while also skirting the laws of gravity.
And the constant mixing of one-liners helps the entire film feel light in tone. They then steal a vital golden cross at a Soho auction house and jet off to Spain (a place you’ve only read about in books!) to follow ancient clues en graved on church walls, “Da Vinci Code”-style. The villain is Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), the heir to a Medici-like Spanish family, who wants the gold too. He hires Braddock (Tati Gabrielle), a bland and vague fem me fatale, to get to the doubloons first. Nathan and Sully are joined by Chloe (Sophia Ali, wonderful in “India Sw eets and Spices”), who’s angry all the time. The umpteenth occasion in which one of the three double-crosses the ot her two, you check your watch.There are also a lot of details that are pulled from the games, whether they be story beats, action sequences, or Easter Egg style jokes. Obviously, the big plane cargo action scene from Unc harted 3 is a major part of the Uncharted movie, and it surprisingly never feels overly ridiculous. Suspension of disbelief seems to be greater among game rs but Uncharted finds a way to craft fun action sequences that exist within its own reality.
The script by Rafe Ju dkins, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway — based on the video game — knows it’s borrowing generously from what came before it. Inside one cathedral, Nathan yells, “Nuns! Why does it always have to be nuns?!,” sending up Indi ana Jones’ famous line about snakes. The cute nods would be fine if the movie matched its predecessors’ energy and escapism. As well, the puzzle-solving, general mystery, and plot twists of the Uncha rted games are well re presented.It’s not something that audiences will be able to necessarily predict along the way, but there is that appropriate Indiana Jones flair to the film that combines historical fact with a fantastical globe-charting adventure.Holland is great as Drake and Wahlberg brings his own personality to Sully, but it wor ks. The two are a fun duo to watch on-screen, and Ali mixes things up enough as Chloe to make the 2-hour film fly by. And those game fans who wa nt incentives to come back to this franchise will find that the script peppers just enough intrigue to setup future films.
Uncharted is unlikely to satisfy those who were hoping for a live-action version of the Naughty Dog video game. But the spirit of the series has been brought to the big screen with enough enthusiasm to make for an en tertai ning time at the movies. It doesn’t establish the blueprint for a successful video game movie but rather Unchar ted shows that the Indiana Jones formula still works when modernized. “Uncharted” is part of the valiant effort to make a bona fide star out of Tom Holland separate from his extremely popular “Spider-Man” movies. The Br itish kid’s been everywhere and nowhere lately. From 2020 to 2021, he starred in “The Devil All the Time,” “Cha os Walking” and “Cherry.” The projects were bland, his talent stood out and nobody watched them. “Uncha rted” will likely follow suit.Holland’s charisma can carry any light, popcorn flick and the move never steps outsi de its bounds to try to do anything else than entertain. Much like the video game series, Uncharted the movie starts out with a base-line level of pure fun, but there is a lot of room to grow from here.
