SYNOPSISTulio (Kevin Kline) and Miguel (Kenneth Branagh) find themselves captive in a Spanish explorer Cortes's (Jim Cummings) ship on its way to the new world. They escape with the bumbling help of Cortes's clumsy but friendly white horse named Altivo. They stumble down into El Dorado, an ancient city of gold which is entered through one of those old fashion monstrous waterfalls with a secret passageway behind.
The High Priest, Tzekel Kan (Armand Assante) proclaims them gods, because they look like the carving on the entry wall. Tzekel Kan plans to use the two to take power from the chief (Edward James Olmos). With the aid of a beautiful native Chel (Rosie Perez) who knows the way of a con, they plot to build a ship and take tons of gold back to Spain and be richer than the King.
With an award winning cast, a delightful story of bumbling pals, a dumb but powerful horse, a strong armadilo, sexy girls who are drawn to look genuine rather than perfect, a frightening Cortes, a stunning gold entrusted ancient city, an archaic game ensembles basketball and every imaginary semblance of hidden cities from Classic movies, El Dorado is a joyful work of film art.
The characters evolve slowly, but both Tulio and Miguel find new destinations, and in the end the secret of El Dorado is saved and the horse gets the last laugh.
It is a colourful and imaginary movie. I learnt that money is not everything in the world. Everyday is a brand new adventure, face it, solve it and you will be happiest person in the world. True friends are rare, we must treasure them always for a true friend is someone who will always support you whenever you go.
