==Plot==
In the near future, the people of Bacurau, a fictional settlement in the also fictional municipality of Serra Verde, in western [[Pernambuco]], witness a series of unusual events, including telephone signals going down, the settlement unexplainably disappearing from online maps, [[flying saucer]]-shaped drones chasing travelers and a couple of mountain bikers from [[Rio de Janeiro]] passing by.
 
When dozens of horses show up in town, two men are sent to investigate the nearby farm from where they presumably escaped and find out the whole family murdered. As they leave the property, they are executed by the couple.
 
The couple rendezvous with a group of foreigners lead by Michael ([[Udo Kier]]) and are reprehended for killing the two men, since killing will allow the foreigners to score "points". After receiving unheard instructions through earpieces, the foreigners execute the couple and argue over who did the killing and is entitled to more points.
 
As the death toll rises, Pacote (Thomas Aquino) deduces the town will be attacked and leads efforts to prepare the people to defend themselves. When the foreigners arrive, they are all killed by the locals, except for Michael, who ends up captured. Soon after the battle, Tony Junior ([[Thardelly Lima]]), Serra Verde's mayor and [[persona non grata]] in Bacurau, comes to town and Michael calls his name; Tony denies knowing him. The mayor is sent away half-naked and tied up to a [[donkey]] while Michael is [[buried alive]] in an underground cell while shouting that "this is only the beginning".
