History Film / Uncharted2022

''Uncharted'' is a 2022 action-adventure film adaptation of the [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} popular PlayStation video game series]] created by Creator/NaughtyDog. It was directed by Creator/RubenFleischer and was produced by Creator/{{Sony}}'s Creator/ColumbiaPictures division as well as Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment's newly formed Creator/PlayStationProductions division for film and television.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Magellan's ships and their spice cargo are too perfectly preserved despite being 500-year-old perishable material lying in an open sea cave; the spice is still fragrant, while the ships remain structurally intact enough for them to be air-lifted and swung around without falling apart. In real life, while they ''might'' have not completely rotten away, both the wood and the spice would be still utterly rotten.

** [[spoiler:Two carracks left exposed to the elements in a tropical region for 500 years would have probably rotted into nothingness long before anyone figured where to find them. To say nothing of these same ships being ''airlifted via helicopter''.]]

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: Iberian galleons from the 16th were certainly fine ships, but they would not be able to comfortably absorb an aerial crash against a giant rock like Magellan's ships do during the aerial chase (the second ship eventually disintegrates, but not after the first hit), not to talk after passing five centuries rotting in a sea cave. One of the ships even remains intact and aflotat for several minutes after landing on the sea from a significantly high altitude, a stunt ''no'' wooden ship whatsoever would have survived.

** Despite what the movie claims, Magellan was not seeking gold, and certainly didn't find treasure in the Philippines. His treasure in the film is even composed of gold jewels with an generic Southeast Asian design, implying it was sacked from Filipino tribes, but those weren't that rich at the time in real life and Magellan didn't engage in any local pillaging either (maybe had he won the Battle of Mactan he could have grabbed some booty). What Magellan was seeking, acknowledged in the movie itself, was spice, which was literally more valuable than gold at the time and only grew beyond the part of the world he wanted to reach, the Molucca islands. The worst is that he didn't even find it, as he died before the necessary commercial relationships could be established; the true value of his expedition, aside from a small load of spice brought by Elcano, was to bring Spain a ton of cosmographical information that served them for their next attempts, which eventually led to the [[UsefulNotes/SpanishConquestOfThePhilippines conquest of the Philippines]] and the blossoming of the Spanish global routes.

** ''VideoGame/Uncharted3DrakesDeception'' shows that a teenage Nate met Sully while trying to pickpocket him in Columbia. This movie shows an early 20s Nate meeting Sully while working as a bartender in New York.
** The same scene in ''Drake's Deception'' shows that Nate got UsefulNotes/SirFrancisDrake's ring from Sully, who stole it from a Columbian museum. The beginning of the movie has Sam give the ring to a very young Nate at the orphanage they lived in.

** Chloe Fraser is first introduced in Barcelona as a snarky girl who steals the cross from the backpack on Nate's back during a boring ShotReverseShot conversation... which documents her exact location at all times and shows that she actually cannot ''reach'' the backpack, much less rummage through it and take something out of it.

In real life, while they might be still be recognizable as things, both the wood and the spice would be utterly rotten.

** Despite what the movie claims, Magellan was not seeking gold, and certainly didn't find treasure in the Philippines, which was not an especially auriferous land either at the time. His treasure in the film is even composed of gold jewels with an generic Southeast Asian design, implying it was sacked from Filipino tribes, but those were nowhere near that rich in real life (and Magellan didn't engage in any local pillaging either). What Magellan was seeking, acknowledged in the movie itself, was spice, which was literally more valuable than gold at the time and only grew beyond the part of the world he wanted to reach, the Molucca islands.

** The action opener features Nate jumping forward into the wind at what must be close to 500 miles an hour. Very few human legs have the muscle needed to jump like that, and it's unclear if Nate happens to possess any of them. Additionally, there would be too much air resistance for him to make such a jump. If he made that jump inside the plane, it would've been perfectly fine, because the air in the plane would be moving forward at the same speed as him.

** The same scene in ''Drake's Deception'' shows that Nate got Sir Francis Drake's ring from Sully, who stole it from a Columbian museum. The beginning of the movie has Sam give the ring to a very young Nate at the orphanage they lived in.

** Discussed in-film when Sam teaches Nate that Juan Sebastian Elcano was actually the first person to circumnavigate the globe and not UsefulNotes/FerdinandMagellan. Ironically, that might be also incorrect, as a little-known fact is that a slave of his working aboard the ship named Enrique of Malacca was from Malaysia and had been taken to Portugal, and so when the fleet crossed the Pacific and he deserted in Philippines, if he returned to Malaysia, he might have become the true first person to have sailed around the world. It should be noted that Magellan managed to pass his "Farthest East" point from a previous journey (though not at the same latitude or the same place), so while his being "first" is factually incorrect, he ''did'' circumnavigate the globe, ''just not in a single trip''.

* EvilCounterpart: As with the games, Braddock, Santiago's Dragon, is one to Nathan. Both are physically adept associates of Sully (formerly in the case of Braddock) who are searching for Magellan's treasure. But while Nate is generally averse to killing and wants to treasure to see if it might help him find his brother Sam, Braddock is OnlyInItForTheMoney and will kill anyone who gets in her way. Additionally, while Nate is unwilling to betray his allies [[spoiler:but does start realizing others will not have these scruples and plans accordingly, Braddock has no such qualms and backstabs Santiago once she gets fed up with him]]. Finally, [[spoiler:while Braddock was double-crossed by Sully in the past, Sully refuses to betray Nate in the climax, ultimately resulting in Braddock's death]].

* ImprobableAimingSkills: [[spoiler:Nate manages to fire a 16th century cannon and hit the tail rotor of a moving helicopter that was charging at him and Sully. This causes the helicopter to spiral out of control, destroying the pirate ship it was carrying and sending the helicopter crashing down]].

* NotSoRemote: Dumped out of a cargo plane, Nate and Chloe appear to be stuck somewhere in the middle of the ocean (a chyron simply states "Somewhere"). When Chloe asks, "you see what I see?" Nate snorts "nothing but endless ocean for miles around us?" He turns to see just what Chloe does: the beach of a huge island resort.

* MrFanservice: Nathan has a gratuitous shirtless workout sequence and another shirtless scene later in the film. He also has multiple scenes of him in wet see through white shirts.

** Discussed in-film when Sam teaches Nate that Juan Sebastian Elcano was actually the first person to circumnavigate the globe and not UsefulNotes/FerdinandMagellan, but that's also incorrect: a little-known fact is that a slave working aboard the ship named Enrique Malacca was from Malaysia and had been taken to Portugal, and so when the fleet crossed the Pacific and reached Malaysia, he truly became the first person to have sailed around the world.
*** It should be noted that Magellan managed to pass his "Farthest East" point from a previous journey (though not at the same latitude or the same place), so while his being "first" is absolutely debatable (and forever will be), he ''did'' circumnavigate the globe, ''just not in a single trip''.

** While the other ancient ruins of the ''Uncharted'' games were intact due to being in a remote area, the [[spoiler:place where the treasure is supposedly hidden in Barcelona is in a modern European city, so it is almost impossible that it could have been untouched. Hence the group finds hidden clues and passageways in the middle of nightclubs and pizza franchises.]]
*** [[spoiler:Speaking of the pizza franchise, Sully ends up getting delayed because the keyhole he needs to access is behind a solid pane of glass, and throwing a chair at it isn't enough to break it. It takes three gunshots and Sully throwing an entire person at the glass for it to break.]]

** Drake points out that they can just retrieve the treasure with a diving rig; but Sully points out an approaching Filipino ship and how the wreck is still property of the government even if they could still retrieve it.
** Each time Drake gets into a straightforward fight with a mercenary, unlike the games, he is always on the losing end because he's an untrained person who hasn't been trained by Sully yet.

** Series creators Creator/NaughtyDog's logo can be seen as a sticker on Nate's suitcase containing his MementoMacGuffin of Sam's postcards.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Braddock is the leader of Moncada's mercenaries ([[spoiler:and later the whole operation]]), in addition to being their deadliest fighter.

'''Previews:''' [[https://youtu.be/eHp3MbsCbMg Trailer]].

** Sam also makes an early appearance compared to the games where he wasn’t even mentioned until ''VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd''.
* AdaptationalJerkass:

* AscendedExtra: Played with, but Sam compared to the games, where he doesn’t even get mentioned until [[VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd the fourth game]]. While he doesn’t get as much screen time here, he is a key character to the plot and Nate’s motivations.

* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: Santiago Moncada]].
* BloodlessCarnage: [[spoiler:Moncada’s throat slit at Braddock’s hands is surprisingly clean, even for a film aimed at families.]]

* DurableDeathtrap: All of the traps in Barcelona designed to keep [[spoiler: the map to the treasure]] safe all work neatly after 500 years, despite having a nightclub and a Papa Johns built around and in them.

* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:Chloe is initially working with Sully before becoming TheMole for Moncada but then starts working with Nate again after Braddock’s coup. She finally [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betrays Nate AGAIN]] to go after the treasure alone, fortunately by this point he’s become savvy enough not to trust her.]]
* FlatWhat: Nate's response when a bad guy threatens him with an ''extremely'' thick and almost indecipherable Scottish accent. In the trailer anyway, in the film proper his response is "I'm sorry?".

** When Sully and Braddock meet at the auction house, she sneers he once taught her to do anything to get the gold. [[spoiler: It sounds just another extension of everyone's ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, but her emphasis on gold is an early indication she's got far bigger ambitions than just getting paid by Moncada]].

** During the third act, Nate recovers a leather shoulder harnass and pistol holster from a defeated {{mook}}, instantly completing his ensemble.
** [[spoiler: Sully is sporting his iconic mustache when he comes to Nate's rescue in TheStinger, which Nate mocks him for.]]

** Some neon signage in the bar Nate works at in the beginning reads "Kitty Got Wet", an infamous ThrowItIn line Creator/NolanNorth came up with from his son.

** Meta example: the game series started in 2007 with ''VideoGame/UnchartedDrakesFortune'' and while the film comes out in 2022 (and is ostensibly set in the same year) the film’s first flashback places Nate and Sam at the orphanage 15 years before - in 2007.

* NoodleImplements: Nate texts Sully a short list of items he needs for the heist... which includes ''a cat''. There's a noticeable {{Beat}} before Sully responds. [[spoiler: Subverted in that the cat has nothing to do with the heist; Nate just tricked Sully into getting himself a pet because he seemed lonely. Everything else on the list has a sensible purpose.]]
* NoodleIncident: The guy who sees Nate and Chloe walk onto the beach in the Philippines apparently fell out of a plane after being hit by a car, like Nate describes. [[spoiler: The joke being that the guy is played by Creator/NolanNorth, whose portrayal of Drake did in fact experience [[VideoGame/Unchared3DrakesDeception something similar]].]]

* PaddleballShot: Has one, despite not being a [=3D=] movie. While searching through his childhood suitcase, Nate throws a baseball up in the air, and since the camera is above him, it creates this effect.

* ProductPlacement: Sully finds himself in a Papa John’s looking for a mechanism to disable a booby trap triggered by Nate and Chloe. He winds up fighting Braddock in the restaurant too.
* PercussivePickpocket

** Averted with the glass covering the keyhole Sully needs to access. He hits it with a chair, and it doesn't crack. A few gunshots barely make a dent in it. He has to pick up [[spoiler: Braddock]] and throw her into the glass for it to break, and the impact knocks her out.

*** [[spoiler: Speaking of the pizza franchise, Sully ends up getting delayed because the keyhole he needs to access is behind a solid pane of glass, and throwing a chair at it isn't enough to break it. It takes three gunshots and Sully throwing an entire person at the glass for it to break.]]
** When one of the ships gets dropped into the ocean, it seems to be floating for a few minutes. But, it ultimately sinks because a wooden ship that has been sitting abandoned in a cave on a remote island for the last five centuries is not going to still be seaworthy.

** Each time Drake gets into a straightforward fight with a mercenary, unlike the games, he is always on the losing end because he’s an untrained person who hasn’t been trained by Sully yet.
* ThemeSongPowerUp: In the climax, as [[spoiler: Nate slaps on a familiar gun holster]], the soundtrack shifts into the iconic theme from the games.

->''Sic parvis magna''

** Sully and Chloe are also skilled pickpockets as Nate learns the hard way.

** [[spoiler:Braddock betrayed Santiago so that she could claims Magellan's ships (and the treasure within) for herself. She ends up being crushed by one of those ships]].

** [[spoiler:Chloe]] keeps betraying Nate. At various points in the film she steals the cross from Nate's backpack, she Nate out and takes the map to Moncada and finally picks up the [[spoiler:false]] coordinates Nate had left on the table.

Set in an AlternateContinuity from the games, the film follows Nathan Drake a bartender and pick-pocket who teams up with seasoned treasure hunters Victor Sullivan and Chloe Frazer to pull off a heist that could make them rich beyond their wildest dreams and give Drake information about his missing brother Sam.

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Nate and Sully get an old Nazi map from an eyepatch-wearing man, only to come face to face with an unseen obstacle. The reference to "Roman" and the gold gun suggest a lead-in to the events of the first game, ''VideoGame/UnchartedDrakesFortune'', though the eyepatch wearer wanting Nate's ring suggests the third game, ''VideoGame/Uncharted3DrakesDeception.]]

* ImprobableAimingSkills: [[spoiler:Nate manages to fire a 16th century cannon and hit the tail rotor of a moving helicopter that was charging at him and Sully. This causes the helicopter to spiral out of control, destroying the pirate ship it was carrying and sending it down crashing with it]].
