In order to meet the native Ecuadorian, played by Louie Leonardo, that speared his father to death, a young man, played by Chad Allen, flies to a jungle in Ecuador to find out the truth about what happened. But to his surprise, a life alternating event occurs as they become closer and closer to one another.

As many years passed by, the young man struggls with his ambitions and fear before he can finally bring himself to seeing the Waodani people known as a vicious warlike tribe that murdered his father. Once there, the truth comes out about exactly what his father was trying to accomplish with the Waodani people.

As a missionary, the young man goes to countries around the world to spread Christianity, just as his father had taught him to do. Even with the strong Christian priciples guiding his life, the young man is filled with a simmering rage and privately struggles with seeking revenge.

You will get to experience a crucial part of the young man's boyhood, while he lives with his parents in a remote jungle area, near the Waodani territory. The family became so isolated that the only means to communicate to the outside world was through a short wave radio and via his father's single engine prop plane.

Most other tribes and people in Ecuador were terrified of entering the Waodani area. The Waodani are known as clever hunters and brutal, warlike people. In this movie, you will see an intense war with a rival tribe, skilled hunting and ancient religous rituals that are thought to be historically accurate.

However, the Waodani are the last of their kind. Between the fighting among tribes, the jungle forest being cut down for farming, and natural causes, their numbers have grown so low, that their whole history and culture are at risk of being lost forever.

While the young man grew up, his father would leave in his airplane to try to spot and contact the Waodani tribe. Knowing the Waodani's reputation, he could only watch with fear when his father took off in his plane. They kept in contact with their short wave radio at home. The son would talk to his father for as long as the radio would pick up any faint signal. This proves to be very valuable later in the story.

Now as a man, the son goes back to the last surviving Waodani tribe, ready to do whatever was necessary, to fulfill his father's true intent. The son must come face to face with the brutal culture of the Waodani people and the rage within himself wanting an "eye for an eye" type of justice. The result is a life changing event for both the young man and the remaining population of the Waodani tribe that instead brings them closer together.

Based on a true story, the movie exposes the threat of total elimination of the Waodani people and how several, young missionaries are trying to save them.

The End of the Spear is rated PG 13, for some intense sequences of violence.
