The Road to El Dorado is an animated movie produced by Dreamworks and first released March 31, 2000. The plot is a classic con-artist on the run comedy set in 1519, and begins in imperial Spain. The following is a summary of the beginning of the movie. ^{(un-spoiler to read)}
The brotherly duo of Tulio and Miguel have to escape Spain after conning a group of thugs out of a map of the new world; that shows the road to the mythical city of El Dorado. They stow away on a ship commanded by the renowned conquistador Hernán Cortés bound for the new world. The dynamic duo once again has to escape for their lives, this time saddled with Cortés' prized war steed Altivo. After washing ashore and trekking through the jungle, they eventually find themselves just outside the fabled city of gold, where - at the bottom of a totemic marker - they run into and save their sister-in-crime Chel, who has been chased out of El Dorado for theft of gold; by guards led by Tzekel-Kan.
