Romancing the Stone
1984 - 106 min. - Color
Genre: Action
Rated PG
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
Though she can spin wild tales of passionate romance, novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) has no life of her own. Then one day adventure comes her way in the form of a mysterious package. It turns out that the parcel is the ransom she'll need to free her abducted sister, so Joan flies to South America to hand it over. But she gets on the wrong bus and winds up hopelessly stranded in the jungle--until she encounters Jack Colton (Michael Douglas), a man who could have stepped straight out of one of her novels.

Though his good looks and intrepid moves dazzle her, Joan quickly sees Jack for the cheap opportunist that he is. But he's all she's got, so together they journey out of the jungle, battling mudslides, druglords, crazed treasure-hunters--and each other. Along the way, Joan discovers she's tougher than she ever thought, tough enough to rescue her sister, and tough enough to fall in love with the troublesome Jack.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
Kathleen Turner plays a writer of adventure stories who has been having trouble selling her works of late because they aren't remotely believable. The basic problem is that the mousy Turner has never had any real adventure in her life. All this changes when she receives a frantic phone call from her sister, whose is being held prisoner by evil art dealers in Colombia. It seems that sis has mailed Turner a map leading to a valuable treasure. Nasty but cowardly Danny DeVito, cousin of the principal villain (Zack Norman), has been assigned to claim the map from Turner. But upon arriving in Colombia, Turner and DeVito learn that others of a more homicidal bent are also after the map. Turner is rescued by soldier of fortune Michael Douglas, who isn't quite clear about his stake in the proceedings. Douglas and Turner undergo several perilous adventures in the wilds of Colombia. The treasure turns out to be a valuable jewel, which changes hands (one of them severed!) many times before it is swallowed by an alligator. Turner manages to break free from her pursuers, but Douglas is presumed dead. Douglas returns at the end of the film in Manhatten to surprise Turner. The sequel to Romancing the Stone was 1985's Jewel of the Nile.--- Hal Erickson

Of all the Raiders of the Lost Ark-inspired films of the 1980s, director Robert Zemeckis' enjoyable romance-comedy-adventure Romancing the Stone might be the best. Zemeckis proved his knack for mixing fast-paced thrills with comedy and character, a quality that would be key to the success of his later Back to the Future. Romancing was rewarded with a huge box-office haul, and it increased the profile of all those involved. On the heels of her breakthrough role as Body Heat's femme fatale, Kathleen Turner thwarted typecasting with a fine comic--- though still sexy--- performance. With his good looks and smarmy style, Michael Douglas became a sex symbol and an A-list leading man for the rest of the decade. And in his first significant supporting role, Danny DeVito successfully translated his sleazeball caricature from TV to the big screen. Zemeckis would go on to significant commercial and technical success with films such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump.--- Brendon Hanley
