In the movie "Aguirre, the Wrath of God," the Spanish expedition, led by Don Pedro de Ursúa, sets out from the Peruvian mountains with the hopes of finding riches and wealth in the Amazon rainforest. Don Aguirre, a ruthless and ambitious man, quickly emerges as a dominant figure and takes control of the expedition.

As they venture deeper into the treacherous Amazon, the group faces numerous challenges. They battle harsh weather conditions, diseases, starvation, and frequent attacks from indigenous tribes. The expedition becomes increasingly disorganized, with some members attempting to mutiny against Aguirre's harsh leadership.

Throughout the journey, Aguirre's obsession with finding the legendary city of El Dorado, the fabled "golden city," grows uncontrollable. He believes that discovering El Dorado will grant him immense power and wealth. Aguirre's growing madness and tyrannical rule over the group lead to the death of several of his fellow Spaniards.

Aguirre's tyrannical behavior and insistence on reaching El Dorado at any cost drive the expedition into a state of chaos. The dwindling resources, continued attacks from natives, and internal conflicts further deteriorate the group's morale and sanity. The group, now reduced to a fraction of its original size, is on the brink of self-destruction.

In the end, the surviving members of the expedition find themselves adrift on the Amazon River, facing imminent death. Aguirre's obsession with power and riches has not only destroyed his own men but has led to his ultimate demise as well. The movie concludes with a powerful image of Aguirre, alone and insane, floating on a raft, surrounded by monkeys, representing the abyss of his own madness.

"Aguirre, the Wrath of God" is a gripping tale of a journey fueled by greed, power, and the destructive effects of human ambition in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
