Romancing the Stone (1984)


A mousy romance novelist sets off for Colombia to ransom her kidnapped sister, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure hunting for treasure with a mercenary rogue.

Lively and entertaining adventure spoof, sparked by some good chemistry between Tuner and Douglas.

Halliwell*: "Spoof adventure thriller which takes too long to get going and then it finds nowhere to go. But commercial..."

Maltin***: "Very likable high-adventure hokum...Silly story never stops moving - with some terrific action and stunts - but it's Turner's enormously appealing performance that really makes the film worthwhile."
