The Naughty Dogs Uncharted games are iconic in their own right, so it only seems fitting that their film adaptation does more than just recreate the stories fans know and love.
The action flick stars Tom Holland as Nathan Drake, aka Nate, and Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Victor "Sully" Sullivan, and it shows the pair as they try to find Magellan's lost gold. Go in search of your first treasure hunt.
While the film draws inspiration from Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, it also pays massive tribute to its source material: Nolan North made a surprise cameo in the film.
North is the original voice actor for Nathan Drake, and has portrayed the character since the release of the first game, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, in 2007.
Where to spot Nolan North in the movie Unknown
In the film Uncharted, Holland's Nate is thrown out of a Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas) cargo plane, which is headed for the Philippines – where Magellan's lost gold is believed to be hidden.
The cargo plane with Nate Sully was hidden in the boot of Moncada's car, and they set out with the intention of stealing the map leading to the treasure and parachuting out of the plane once its bay doors were opened for the airdrop. Were were
Unfortunately things don't go as they had planned as Nate decides to face off against Braddock (Tati Gabrielle) and questions his involvement in the apparent death of his brother Sam.
Nate leaves the supply crates on the plane but gets caught in the trap of one of them, and is thrown away while attached to the box.
He manages to stop the goons sent to kill her and gets back on the plane, only to be hit by Chloe Fraser (Sofia Ali) with Moncada's car, which she herself was using to get off the plane.
Fans of the game will recognize that this scene is a direct allusion to a similar incident in Uncharted 3, where Nate has to fight agents on a plane and falls out of it while flying over Yemen.
Chloe and Nate manage to escape the ordeal by using a parachute attached to one of the supply boxes, and they arrive at a luxury resort after swimming for a while in the ocean.
The pair make their way out to sea James Bond-style and make their way to the beach, where they are stopped by a man on a sun lounger. This man is none other than Nolan North.
North asks Nate and Chloe what happened to them, and Nate comments that he fell off a cargo plane and was hit by a car on the way.
The voice actor remarks that something similar happened to him once, as happened to Nate in Uncharted 3, and that he wishes Holland's character "good luck."
This last comment of the answer makes it feel like it was intended as a way to pass the torch from the voice actor to Holland, thereby blessing the Spider-Man star with the character he likes.
