Apocalypto
Apocalypto is a 2006 film directed by Mel Gibson, set in the declining years of the Mayan civilization.
The title evokes apocalypse and revelation—the film depicts a world on the brink of collapse.
The word itself is a coinage, suggesting something like "I reveal" or "I uncover" in pseudo-Greek: Have you seen Apocalypto?
