2022 from Sony Unexplored movie, based on its video game series of the same name, is finally on streaming services. Like the games, this Tom Holland/Mark Whalberg film is full of globetrotting and treasure hunting. A relatively new artifact that kept popping up in the movie was villain Santiago Moncado’s (Antonio Banderas) red sports car. Moncado’s most prized possession is a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” and it was one of many unique vehicles to star in the film.

Moncado and his car make their first appearance in the Unexplored film when he shows up at an antique auction in New York. Then he drives his Mercedes Gullwing home to Barcelona in the film’s second act. Finally, his pals load his classic car onto his cargo plane before flying to the Philippines in search of lost treasure.
When someone asks him about the car, Santiago says, “My dad gave me this car when I was eighteen. Since then, it’s been my lucky charm.
[Spoiler Alert] The car is at the heart of one of the film’s most memorable sets. To escape the bad guys, Chloe Frazer (Sophia Ali) jumps into the car and kicks it out through the plane’s open cargo door, accidentally hitting Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) and sending him flying through the sky as well.
