Holland plays Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter and descendant of explorer Sir Francis Drake. According to a film summary, he believes he's found the location of the lost golden city of El Dorado, and then a rival treasure hunter shows up.
The film is now being directed by Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) after Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) left the project, The Hollywood Reporter writes.

The first Uncharted game, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, came out for the PlayStation 3 in 2007. It was followed by three sequels and a prequel, a card game and a standalone expansion game. The series has shipped more than 40 million units.
