The Brave

Raphael (Johnny Depp) is an alcoholic Native American, recently released from jail, lives with his Rita (Elpidia Carillo) and his children Frankie (Cody Lightning) and Marta (Nicole Mancera) in a remote community, near a junkyard. He makes a living rescuing salable items from the rubbish dump. Unable to provide to his family, Raphael arranges to meet a wealthy man named McCarthy (Marlon Brando), who offers him a large sum of money to appear in a snuff film in which he's tortured and beaten to death by a gang of rednecks. Knowing that, if he takes the role, he will suffer a painful death in front of the camera, Raphael accepts, hoping the money will help Rita build a better life for their children. Raphael is given the money in advance and also is given a week to live and then comeback to be tortured and killed on camera. Next seven days, Raphael tries to enjoy his life on Earth and teach Frankie of his new responsibilities as the man of the house. Raphael rediscovers his love for his children and wife and realizes that he is worth more to them alive than dead. But it is too late to give back the money and cancel his contract.
