The greatest treasure known to man is about to be pursued by the boldest, most-daring hero ever seen on screen! Part thrill-seeking adventure, part Indiana Jones parody, the Cannon Group’s fun-filled adaptation of King Solomon’s Mines is overflowing with non-stop laughter and cliffhanger excitement! Richard Chamberlain stars as famed explorer Allan Quatermain, joining a whip-smart woman (Sharon Stone) in the search for her archeologist father. On a dangerous trek across Africa, they’ll have to contend with a very hostile German military, a tribe of very hungry cannibals and, not-least-of-all, EACH OTHER! Co-starring legendary character actor Herbert Lom and Raiders of the Lost Ark’s John Rhys-Davies.
