In the late 1800s, opera fan Fitzcarraldo is given a vision of building an opera house deep in the Amazon rainforest. Everyone except his faithful companion, the brothel madam Molly, considers him crazy. But Fitzcarraldo slides overly confident into the jungle aboard an old rusty steamboat. He does encounter an obstacle when a mountain appears to lie between him and his dream. To reach his goal, he decides to tow the entire boat across the mountain.
