When damsel-in-distress Jessie Huston needs someone to retrieve her kidnapped father, she calls on the one man who can do the deed: hired gun Allan Quatermain. Jessie's father is an archaeologist who knows the location of a cache of loot once owned by King Solomon. After Quatermain finds the elder Huston, Jessie and the brave soldier of fortune elude crocodiles, lions, elephants, cannibals, quicksand, and falling rock slabs in the hunt for Solomon's gold. Even more threatening are two creeps tracking the treasure -- the menacing Colonel Bockner and brutish mercenary Dogati. Throughout the jungles of Zimbabwe, the competing pairs of gold diggers elude one another in cat-and-mouse escapades. But only one duo will make it back with the treasure. [More]

A shallow and pale remake; stick with the 1950 version.

Bad 'Indiana Jones' wanna-be based on the role-model for Indiana Jones.
