The worst action-adventure flick ever made! Totally trying to cash in on the Indiana Jones fever that raged throughout the eighties, as many movies - "Romancing the Stone" - tried to do. This one was frighteningly bad though.
Humorless (not for lack of woeful effort), banal, uninspired, laughable and poorly acted. This one really stinks! Ruined Richard Chamberlain and would have done the same for Sharon Stone, had Martin Scorcese remembered she was in it. Also starred Herbert Lom and John Rhys-Davies. Poor composer Jerry Goldsmith wasted his talents on this one.
Based upon H. Rider Haggard's classic novel.
