When her sister is kidnapped by thugs searching for a priceless jewel in the Colombian jungle, a romance novelist (Kathleen Turner) soon finds her own life filled with cliffhangers and danger. All alone, she sets out to rescue her sister and meets up with a handsome fortune seeker (Michael Douglas) who convinces her to beat the bandits to the treasure.

Watching on a rainy day. It's well acted with likable characters and a good balance of plot and characterization.

The chemistry between Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.

Watch the sequel.

Hopeful. I felt empowered, like I was capable of doing whatever I set out to do.

Kathleen Turner
Michael Douglas
Danny DeVito

Interesting Fact. Robert Zememkis directed this film. He also directed Forest Gump. Both movies use humor well to connect viewers to the characters.

It's a good study at what romantic suspense is all about. There's a good balance between suspense and romance.

I remember watching this movie when it first came out, and I loved it. I liked all the excitement and adventure and I was impressed at how an "ordinary" person like Kathleen Turner's character, Joan Wilder, could go on the adventure of a lifetime.
