The movie is based on the best-selling adventure novel by Michael Creighton (author of “Jurassic Park”).
A CIA expedition developing top-secret weapons dies somewhere in the wilds of Africa under very mysterious circumstances. To investigate this dark case, former security agent Dr. Ross is sent into the jungle. On the way she joins a merry company consisting of a primatologist scientist, a talking gorilla Amy and a Romanian philanthropist Gomulka. They all have very different goals in mind.
The primatologist plans to communicate with her wild relatives through Amy. Amy’s dream is to enjoy the jungle. And Gomulka hopes to find the lost city where the legendary diamond mines of King Solomon rest.
