Description

Michael Douglas gets carried away with the adventure and Kathleen Turner, Romancing the Stone. Romancing the Stone is a 1984 American action-adventure romantic comedy. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, it stars Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) is a lonely romance novelist in New York City who receives a treasure map mailed to her by her recently-murdered brother-in-law. Her widowed sister, Elaine (Mary Ellen Trainor), calls Joan and begs her to come to Cartagena, Colombia, because Elaine has been kidnapped by bumbling antiquities smugglers Ira (Zack Norman) and Ralph (Danny DeVito), and the map is to be the ransom. Hastily flying to Colombia, Joan is detoured from the rendezvous with Ralph by Colonel Zolo (Manuel Ojeda), the man who killed Elaine’s husband. Joan ends up in the jungle and is almost killed by Zolo, but is saved by the swashbuckling American bird exporter Jack T. Colton (Michael Douglas). For getting her to out of the the jungle and to a telephone, Joan promises to pay Jack $375. After a night of dancing and passion, Jack suggests to Joan that they find the treasure before handing over the map. Zemeckis would go on to work with Turner again, casting her as the voice of Jessica Rabbit in 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Zemeckis later stated that the success of Romancing the Stone allowed him to make Back to the Future, which was an even larger success. The film’s success also led to an equally successful sequel, 1985’s The Jewel of the Nile, without Zemeckis at the helm but with Douglas, Turner, and DeVito all returning. DeVito reunited himself, Douglas and Turner in his 1989 film The War of the Roses.
