The Uncharted movie is finally here! If you’ve never played the games or need a
quick refresher on the story before going in, don’t worry, this video has you covered. This
is a complete recap of the story of Nathan Drake from the entire Uncharted series.
The Uncharted game series started back in 2007 with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. That game
introduced players to treasure hunter Nathan Drake, who, alongside reporter Elena Fisher,
uses the coordinates inscribed on a family ring worn around his neck to
recover the coffin of his ancestor, Sir Francis Drake. Inside the coffin
was Francis Drake’s diary which contained coordinates to the lost city of El Dorado.
Nate links up with his old friend and mentor Victor “Sully” Sullivan and the two ditch Elena,
fearing the danger their treasure hunt would bring, and head off to find El Dorado.
After following the coordinates, Nate and Sully discover that El Dorado was not a city,
but in fact a golden statue taken to a nearby island.
Also looking for El Dorado was a team of mercenaries, led by Gabriel Roman,
who Sully owed a massive debt to. They arrive and shoot Sully, seemingly killing him,
and Nathan narrowly escapes. He then teams back up with Elena to continue his treasure hunt. The
two use Sully’s seaplane, which is shot down by Roman’s men on their flight to the island.
On the island, Nate and Elena discover that Sully had survived the gunshot due to Francis
Drake’s diary stopping the bullet and was now held captive by Roman. Sully had spent
his time trying to mislead Roman’s team to buy more time for Nathan and Elena.
Nate and Elena rescue Sully and continue on their search. They find a treasure vault
and discover the body of Francis Drake, who they assume died searching for the treasure.
Meanwhile, Roman’s crew is fracturing, as his men are being killed off by what they believe
is an island curse. This is confirmed when some of
Roman’s men run into Nathan’s team and are attacked by mutated humans.
Nate and Elena escape the attack and discover an abandoned German bunker. It turns out, the Germans
had sought the statue during World War II, but were cursed by it and became the mutated monsters.
Sir Francis Drake, realizing how dangerous the statue was, tried to keep it on the island by
destroying ships and flooding the city, trapping himself on the island and dying in the process.
Nathan’s new mission becomes preventing Roman from taking the statue off of the island at all costs,
but unfortunately isn’t fast enough. Roman and his team reach the statue, but Roman’s lieutenant
Navarro, knowing of the curse, tells Roman to open the statue himself. Upon opening the statue,
it’s revealed to be a sarcophagus containing an infected mummy that spread the mutagenic virus.
Roman begins to mutate and Navarro kills him, then takes over Roman’s men and has them bring the
sarcophagus back to their ship, where he plans to sell the virus to the highest bidder. Nate sneaks
aboard the ship and defeats Navarro, sinking him and the sarcophagus to the bottom of the ocean.
Having saved the world from the threat of the virus, Nathan, Elena, and Sully
grab some treasure and leave the island, with Nate and Elena striking up a romance.
And now I want to cut in real quick to tell you about this video’s sponsor. So
I’ve got a game you can play right now, on your phone, and it’s one of the best and
most talked about games around. I’m talking about Raid: Shadow Legends.
In Raid: Shadow Legends you unlock and play as Champions, who have their own unique backstory
and lore and come with their own awesome and specialized abilities. And the best part is,
it’s a mobile game! So you can play it in bed, while you’re waiting in line,
while you’re falling out the back of a cargo plane and plummeting toward the Earth.
There are so many different game modes to choose from. Right now
I’m trying my hands at some of the Dungeon bosses.
I can take down the Arcane Guardian with ease, but the Force Guardian, Skavag,
and Hellrazor really up the difficulty. And don’t even get me started on Fyro and his shield.
I personally really love how unique and intricate the skills and abilities can be for the different
Champions. Heading over to the portal and summoning a new Champion and then learning all
about their abilities and strategizing how I can use them in battle leads to endless possibilities.
RAID’s got a ton happening this month, with a fresh rotation of the brutal Hydra Boss,
and a ton of events and tournaments every single day - including

In Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, two years have passed since Nathan Drake’s hunt for El Dorado,
and he and Elena have since broken up. Nate is approached by former associate Harry
Flynn and his girlfriend Chloe Frazer, secretly also an associate of Nathan,
to find and steal an ancient Mongolian oil lamp that belonged to Marco Polo.
Upon breaking into a museum to steal the lamp, Nathan and Flynn discover that Marco
Polo’s fleet had been shipwrecked in Borneo and was carrying the infamous Cintamani Stone,
which is a wish-fulfillment jewel from both Buddhist and Hindu traditions.
With the location of the stone in hand, Flynn double crosses Nate and has him arrested.
Chloe seeks Sully’s help in busting Nate out of prison, then reveals that Flynn was working for a
Serbian war criminal named Zoran who was seeking the stone’s power. The stone was located in the
fabled city of Shambhala, located somewhere in the Himalayas. On their journey, Nate and
Chloe run into Elena and her cameraman Jeff, who were tracking Zoran on their own for a journalism
story. Zoran’s team attacks the group, killing Jeff and forcing Nate to reveal the location of
Shambhala. Chloe fakes a betrayal to infiltrate Zoran’s team while Nate and Elena escape.
Nate pursues Zoran and Chloe on a train which he fights his way through and derails over a cliff,
narrowly surviving. Nate is rescued by a Tibetan Sherpa named Tenzin, who brings Nate
to his village. At the village, Nate and Elena are reunited and introduced to Karl Schafer,
a German explorer who had sought after the stone decades prior.
Zoran’s men attack the village and kidnap Schafer, taking him to a nearby monastery.
Nate and Elena follow them to the monastery, where a mortally wounded Schafer warns Nate
that the stone must be destroyed before Zoran can obtain its power.
Zoran and Flynn’s team corners Nate and Elena and forces Nate to unlock the entrance to Shambhala
underneath the monastery. Upon entering Shambhala, the group is attacked by the city’s
ancient guardians who slaughter many of Zoran’s team, allowing Nate, Chloe, and Elena to escape.
As they explore the city of Shambhala, Nate, Chloe, and Elena discover that the Cintamani
Stone was derived from the sap of an ancient tree of life. Anyone that drank the sap would be given
inhuman powers. And that’s when Flynn arrives, left for dead by Zoran in the guardian attack,
and betrayed by his girlfriend, Chloe. He attacks the trio with a grenade, blowing himself up and
critically injuring Elena. While Chloe looks after Elena, Nate heads to the tree of life,
where Zoran drinks the sap and becomes nearly invincible. Nate is able to explode parts of the
tree to defeat Zoran, leaving him to be killed by the guardians. As the explosions cause the entire
city of Shambhala to crumble and collapse, Nate, Chloe, and Elena make their escape.
Back at the Tibetan village, Chloe bids the group farewell.
Nate confesses his continued love to Elena and the two share a kiss.
In Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, the backstory of the relationship between Nathan and Sully is
revealed through flashbacks. Nate was actually an orphan who adopted the name Drake as a teenager.
He broke into the Museo Martimo in Cartagena to steal Sir Francis Drake’s ring, but while
there he comes across Sully and a woman named Katherine Marlowe,
who wanted the ring for themselves. Marlowe’s henchman capture Nate,
but Sully helps free him and then takes the teenager under his wing as a protege.
In the present, two years have passed since the events of Uncharted 2. During that time,
Nathan and Elena have gotten married, but recently separated. And that’s
when Katherine Marlowe and her associate Talbot re-enter Nathan and Sully’s lives,
stealing Sir Francis Drake’s ring from Nate.
Katherine Marlowe is revealed to be the leader of The Order,
a secret society originally created by Queen Elizabeth I in the 16th century.
Another previous member of that order? Sir Francis Drake, but he abandoned it after discovering the
Order’s true purpose was to control Britain’s enemies through espionage, deception, and fear.
Like Queen Elizabeth in the 16th century, Marlowe had a similar quest for the Order, to find the
lost city of Ubar, also known as the Atlantis of the Sands or Iram of the Pillars. Three thousand
years ago, King Solomon captured Djinns, supernatural demon creatures, and imprisoned
them within a brass vessel, then cast the vessel into Ubar’s water system. This tainted the water,
causing its drinkers to suffer hallucinations and go mad, which eventually led to the city’s demise.
In the present, Marlowe wanted to recover this vessel to use against the Order’s enemies.
Marlowe captures Sully and forces him to lead the Order to Ubar. With the
help of his estranged wife Elena, Nate sneaks aboard Marlowe’s cargo plane and destroys it,
parachuting down into the middle of the desert. With the help of Bedouin tribe leader Salim,
Nate is able to rescue Sully and the two continue their mission to stop Marlowe.
In Ubar, Nate and Sully confront Marlowe as she uses a giant winch to recover the vessel
from the waters. Nate destroys the winch, but the entire city begins to collapse. Talbot and
Marlowe are killed in a sinkhole, with Marlowe taking Sir Francis Drake’s ring down with her.
Salim rescues Nate and Sully from the collapsing city and the two prepare to travel home.
Sully then gives Nate a pep talk and hands Nate back his wedding ring that Nate had
thought he’d lost after separating from Elena. And so, Nate returns to Elena and
the married couple reconcile. The trio then board Sully’s brand new seaplane,
a replacement for the one destroyed in the first game, and return home.
In Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, we flashback to the childhood of Nathan Drake and his older brother,
Sam. Their archeologist mother died when they were young, and their father sold all of their mother’s
belongings and gave the brothers up, forcing them to live in an orphanage. As teenagers,
Nate and Sam sneak away from the orphanage and track down their mother’s belongings,
meeting her old friend Evelyn. Evelyn gives the brothers their mother’s journal and tells them
about their mother’s theory that Sir Francis Drake had heirs and that their mother had been
searching for the pirate utopia Libertalia. When Nate and Sam leave, they decide not to
return to the orphanage, but instead take on the Drake name and become treasure hunters.
Years later, and fifteen years before the events of present day, Nathan and his older brother Sam
are hunting for the treasure of the pirate Henry Avery. Alongside their partner Rafe,
the brothers infiltrate a Panamanian prison to access the former cell of Avery’s first mate.
Nate finds a hollow St. Dismas idol, but before the trio can make their escape,
the prison’s warden, who aided them in their entry, demands a cut of the
treasure to ensure their release. Rafe kills the warden and the prison erupts into chaos.
While Nate and Rafe manage to escape, Sam is shot by the guards and presumed dead.
In the present, Nathan Drake has retired from his treasure hunting ways and is trying to live
a simpler life with his wife, Elena. And although he’s happy, he does miss the adventure of the old
days. And that’s when Nate’s brother Sam shows up, alive and well, explaining that he had
survived the gunshots and spent the last fifteen years in prison. He had recently escaped with
drug lord Hector Alcazar, but if he didn’t find Henry Avery’s treasure, Alcazar would have Sam
killed. Nate agrees to help his brother and lies to Elena about leaving for a work trip.
With the help of Sully, the Drake brothers steal another Dismas idol from an illegal auction in
Italy. This leads to them crossing paths with Rafe, who was similarly back on the hunt for
Henry Avery’s treasure. Using clues from the Dismas idol, the Drakes and Sully eventually
discover a map to Libertalia, a pirate utopia where Henry Avery and other pirate captains
pooled together and stored their treasure. Before the trio can depart for Libertalia,
Elena shows up and confronts Nathan, furious at her husband for lying to
her. Elena leaves in anger, and Nate sends Sully after her to ensure her wellbeing.
Upon reaching Libertalia, the brothers are confronted by Rafe. Rafe reveals that
he released Sam from prison two years ago to aid in his search for Henry Avery’s treasure,
and the story about Hector Alcazar was a lie. Sam had then double-crossed Rafe
and returned to recruit Nate to continue their childhood search.
As Rafe tries to kill Nate, Sam intervenes and Nate falls from a cliff.
Elena arrives to rescue Nate, and the husband and wife give chase to Rafe in order to rescue Sam.
Upon his rescue, Sam refuses to give up his search for Henry Avery’s treasure and decides to leave
his brother. Nate chases after his brother and eventually discovers the ship of Henry Avery in a
giant cavern. Aboard the ship, Sam is collecting treasure when he accidentally triggers a trap,
pinning him under rubble and setting the entire ship ablaze. When Nate boards the
ship he is confronted by an obsessive Rafe who challenges him to a sword fight. Nate ends up
killing Rafe and freeing Sam. The brothers escape Libertalia and are flown home by Sully’s plane.
With the adventure in Libertalia over, Sam and Sully team up for a new job together.
Nate and Elena return home, and using some of Avery’s gold that Sam had given them,
they buy a salvage company to run together. Years later,
the business is a huge success and Nate and Elena have a teenage daughter named Cassie.
When Cassie discovers relics from her parents' past adventures,
Nate sits his daughter down and recounts to her the epic adventures of the Drake family.
