The Lost City of Z is a 2017 American action-adventure biographical film, written and directed by James Gray (The Yards). The film follows British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) during his lengthy and exhausting expedition to the jungle of the Amazon, where he accidentally encounters traces of an apparently extinct civilization, which no one has yet reported, and is soon convinced of the existence of a missing city, which he calls Z. Upon his return home, he finds that no one believes him and that the discovery is shrouded in the brain. Forced proof of his allegations, Fawcett once again breaks into the jungle of Brazil, accompanied by his now-grown son, Jack (Tom Holland).
The following weapons were used in the film The Lost City of Z:
Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) uses a Webley Mk VI revolver as he serves in the British army during World War I. He also used it on his third expedition in 1925.
An Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M1888-90 rifle is seen carried by Percy Fawcett during his first expedition in 1906 which he never actually used in the movie.
The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* with and without the Pattern 1907 sword bayonet is the standard service rifle for British troops including Percy's friends during the Battle of the Somme.
During the Battle of the Somme, German soldiers can briefly be seen with an anachronistic Soviet Maxim M1910/30 which stands in for the correct Maxim MG08.
A Madsen machine gun is also briefly seen in a German trench. While a glimpse of the magazine is seen in the movie, it is slightly better seen in a promotional picture. The presence of the Madsen gun in this scene is an interesting historical detail, as special German battalions issued with Madsens did participate prominently in the Battle of the Somme.
