Jungle Cruise (2021)
Jungle Cruise is based on Disney's theme park attraction of the same name, offering up a fantastical thrill ride through the South American jungle. Set in 1916, Jungle Cruise follows Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) and her brother MacGregor (Jack Whitehall) as they set off on an expedition to locate the Tears of the Moon, flowers fabled to cure any illness or disease. Arriving in Brazil, they enlist the help of savvy riverboat captain Frank Wolff (Dwayne Johnson), who helps them escape a villainous German prince also on the hunt for the Tears.

Summary
Jungle Cruise is 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.
