A pair of down-and-out treasure hunters venture out for one last score in the Cannon Group’s answer to Indiana Jones! Martial arts superstar Chuck Norris and Oscar-winning Louis Gossett Jr are a hilarious duo of luckless adventurers searching for fame & fortune in J. Lee Thompson’s fast-paced & good-natured action comedy Firewalker. When a blonde beauty (Flash Gordon’s Melody Anderson) with a mysterious map walks into their lives, the trio embarks on a dangerous journey to Central America to find a bounty of Aztec gold. But along the way they’ll have to cross deadly jungles and navigate ancient temples while battling hungry critters and vengeful spirits!
