What happens

The Final Sacrifice (also known as Quest for the Lost City) is a 1990 independent Canadian adventure film produced and directed by Tjardus Greidanus, a freshman at Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, and stars Christian Malcolm and Bruce J. Mitchell. It faded into obscurity not long after its release but saw a renewed interest following its exposure on Mystery Science Theater 3000. In November 2025, Greidanus announced a new film, The Making of THE FINAL SACRIFICE, which he successfully funded through Kickstarter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
