Plot
Beck (The Rock) is a professional bounty hunter hired by his boss, Walker, to go get his son, Travis (Sean William Scott), from the Amazon jungle. Beck wants out, and considers this his last job before retiring and opening his own restaurant. Beck heads down to the small town of "Hell Dorado" to find Travis and retrieve him from the mess he is in. The town is run by a crafty, vicious man Hatcher (Christopher Walken) who keeps the town under his thumb by forcing the locals to work in his mine at scab wages, and selling off the minerals for his own profit. Beck enters the local bar to find information about Travis, and runs into him. Travis is looking for "El Gato Diable", or "The Devils Cat", a lost artifact that could be worth millions to a museum. Beck forces Travis to cooperate, hand-cuffs him, and starts to drag him away. Hatcher, however, has heard that Travis might know where the Gato is, and won't let Mr. Beck take him away. Beating Hatcher's henchmen, Beck begins to drive to the runway before Hatcher can catch up to them. However, Travis forces the jeep off the road, and both Beck and Travis are forced to trek through the jungle.

Hatcher is angered that they fled his attack and is searching for them. On the river, Travis leads the group toward where the Gato is supposed to be, behind a waterfall. Swimming up into the cave, the group finds the Gato, behind a trap. Beck holds up one pillar, while Travis manages to overcome the trap and grab the Gato before the ceiling collapses. With the Gato in hand, the group sets off toward the town. Mariana, however, feeds Beck and Travis with a paralyzing fruit and steals the Gato before setting off and telling Beck where the airfield is. Waking up to more baboons, Beck arrives at the airfield, and finds that Mariana has been captured, and Hatcher has the Gato. Beck makes a decision to fight Hatcher, free the town, and get Travis back to his father before both of them are killed.
Heading into town under the cover of a stampede, Beck and Travis are cornered. Abandoning his rule of "No Guns", Beck launches his assault, blowing up a truck in the process. Hatcher, amazed that they aren't dead yet, tells his lieutenant to take Mariana and the Gato and get out of town, while his personal body guards fight Beck. Travis stops the car, frees Mariana, and gets the Gato, but needs to make a decision - leave or help Beck. Beck beats the guards and faces Hatcher, who is defeated with the help of the locals. Travis decides to come back home with Beck, leaving the Gato with Mariana. Arriving in the states, Beck feeds Walker and his goons the paralyzing fruit he brought back. After saying goodbye to his father, Travis leaves with Beck to start a restaurant Beck has always wanted to.
