Movie Description
Removing himself from modern society, Dr Robert Campbell (Sean Connery), has become a Medicine Man to the people of the Amazonian village which he inhabits. By a freak mishap, Campbell has deduced that the cure for cancer can be derived from a chemical found in a Brazilian flower.


Fellow scientist/beauty Dr. Rae Crane tracks down the elusive Campbell in an effort to monitor his progress. The two doctors, although physical attracted to one another butt heads when a villager becomes sick, and Campbell wishes to use only remaining bit of cancer curing serum to save the native's life. In addition to battling each other, the doctors must contend with a group of loggers who pose a danger to the village.


Shot in Mexico and Brazil, Director John McTiernan returns to the jungles he burned in his 1987 blockbuster, PREDATOR, and delivers a scenic psychic thriller. Gone is the gore from McTiernan's previous films. Instead he has choses a more humanistic topic, conservation, plus, the sparks between actors Connery and Bracco are more incendiary than any machine gun.

Editorial Reviews
"...The movie has a pleasing daftness....Myers, like Martin Short, works in his own lyrical stratosphere. There's a joyousness to him that's almost childlike..."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (02/21/1992)

"...[Connery] remains a genuinely magnetic presence..."
Los Angeles Times - Michael Wilmington (02/07/1992)

    I finally had a chance to watch this movie the other evening, I know it seems like it was an older movie but worth every second . and its a true fact that people tend to forget while sitting at home that our rain forests are vanishing. this movie will touch you it will make you think for a minuite you wantto help it willl also confuse you as to how to help, it will make you cry, and you will laugh for sure, the pairing of Mr. Connery and Ms. Broccco, If i spelled her name correctly will knock you off your feet. its that .. Its that I want you but I don't want you to know I want you kind of love story mixedin to a serious issue. it is well worth buying tis movie. It was one of those movies you did not want to end.. you wanted more more even as it did end. Thank you for your time.
