Fitzcarraldo (1982)

In the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, dreamer Fitzcarraldo, played by Klaus Kinski, aims to build an opera house by extracting rubber from a remote region. To finance his grand project, he embarks on a journey to transport a steamship over a steep hill, mirroring a real-life feat by Peruvian rubber baron Carlos Fitzcarrald, depicted in Werner Herzog's 1982 epic adventure-drama. The film's audacious portrayal of human ambition amid the lush Amazonian wilderness and the monumental task of moving a steamship makes it a cinematic triumph.
