In 1520, two great empires collided, the Aztecs and Spaniards. One survived and one vanished in an event that changed the world forever. Five hundred years later, Moctezuma's Treasure was found off the coast of Florida. In that treasure find was a mystical green stone in the shape of a pyramid known as Moctezuma's "Stone of Power". The Mystical Stone conjures up a Goddess of the ancient Aztec past to change the world forever...again! Everyone wants The Stone!

Spanning 500 years, the feature film will include the great migrations from Aztlán to Mexico lead by the sorceress Malinalxóchitl, and the rise and fall of the Toltec and Aztec Empires. It will include magical pyramids and mystical temples. It will include the gods, demons, legends, and folklore of the ancient past. It will include a underwater treasure hunt, a Native American commando team, a beautiful British detective, a righteous President, an evil drug lord, and the mystical sorceress hell-bent on recapturing The Stone and returning to Aztlán with her people.
