Summary:
Come along on a rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank's questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila, his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities, possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank, and their fate and mankind's hangs in the balance. "Jungle Cruise" is a movie that implicitly asks: What's wrong with a little good old-fashioned escapism? The answer is: Absolutely nothing..."--Variety. "Disney's latest ride-into-movie adaption is high-spirited fun aimed squarely at kids."--Newsday. "Like a zanier Bogie and Bacall, Johnson and Blunt cross an "African Queen" vibe with Indiana Jones flair for a period piece that starts like gangbusters but can't keep from wading into familiar waters."--USA Today.
