Atahualpa, the new Incan Emperor, is invited by Pizarro to a feast in Cajamarca. Despite defeating his half-brother and ending the Incan Civil War, Atahualpa is unafraid of Pizarro's small force and agrees to meet. During the meeting, a confrontation occurs when Atahualpa rejects conversion to Christianity. Pizarro seizes the moment to ambush the Incas, resulting in a massacre.
