Looking like an Indy knock-off, Robert Zemeckis' RTS turned out to be a lively action adventure.
A younbg woman from Chicago who writes Romantic novels is sent a package from Colombia by her sister with a note saying that it must be returned as ransom for her kidnapping. Our heroine sets off on a foolhardy mission to the jungle where she is rescued, and then teams up, with a seemingly low life American fortune hunter.
Basically, it's a quest for a precious rock enlivened by romantic sparring from Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, cracking set-pieces, exuberant direction and Danny DeVito on top form. Lewis Teague's sequel retreads the same licks without the zest.
