From a true story, "End of the Spear" is the story of Mincayani, a Waodani tribesman from the jungles of Ecuador. When five young missionaries, among them Jim Elliot and Nate Saint, are speared to death by the Waodani in 1956, a series of events unfold to change the lives of not only the slain missionaries' families, but also Mincayani and his people.

The killing of five missionaries Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, and Peter Fleming in the Amazon jungle captured the attention of a nation and prompted Elisabeth Elliot to write the best-selling Through Gates of Splendor. But what would remain untold for a half a century is the incredible response to these deaths.

A missionary group journeys to the heart of the Amazon jungle in search of the Waodani, a tribe of fierce warriors completely isolated from civilization. Based on a true story.
