The 1954 film Secret of the Incas was filmed by Paramount Pictures on location at Cusco and Machu Picchu,
the first time that a major Hollywood studio filmed on site. Five hundred indigenous people
were hired as extras in the film.
Machu Picchu is also featured prominently in the 2004 film The Motorcycle Diaries, a biopic based on the1952 youthful travel memoir of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara. A review noted, "The scenes at Machu Picchu are worth watching several times over.
The song "Kilimanjaro" from the 2010 film Enthiran was filmed in Machu Picchu. The sanction for filming was granted only after direct intervention from the Indian government.
