The Royal Hunt of the Sun background

The Royal Hunt of the Sun

Francisco Pizarro's 1532 expedition into the Inca Empire results in the capture of Emperor Atahualpa, leading to the claim of Peru for Spain.

Pizarro, a Spanish explorer, captures Atahualpa, the Inca god-chief, and demands a treasure of gold in exchange for his freedom. However, their complex relationship evolves as Pizarro's desire for conquest clashes with his growing sense of honor and respect for his captive.
