Storyline
In Bolivia's Amazon basin, corporate cattle ranches are replacing the rain forest. When Santos, charismatic leader of the union of rubber tappers, forges an alliance with Indians to protest deforestation, he is assassinated. O'Brien, a US photo-journalist who has no skills as an investigator, wants a story when he thinks the police have framed and murdered an innocent Indian as the assassin. In his search for the truth, he involves Lysa Rothman, who worked for Santos and with whom he falls in love. As he gets deeper into trouble with the cops and the real assassin, he not only needs Lysa's help but that of the Indians' leader. How many will die so O'Brien can get his story?

Trivia
Sandra Bullock placed duct tape on her breasts during the filming of the love scene so that she could know for sure nothing would be visible that she didn't want seen. She also made the production company sign a contract stating which parts of her were not to be shown. See more »Goofs
At 1:08, Valdez bursts into Nacia's home and threatens R.J. His rank epaulets both display 4 gold stripes. In the next scene, there are 4 stripes on his right shoulder, but only 3 on the left. See more »Crazy Credits
At the beginning of the credits the following is shown: "Every day, more than 70,000 acres of rainforest are destroyed. The loss to humans and science is incalcuable." See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
There is a reason this movie was shelved for, how long? 7 years? This should be the first hint.
At any rate, I watched this movie with an open mind. I wanted to like it, and enjoy myself, but there just was not much to it. An Idiot reporter runs around p***ing off the locals and Sandra Bullock meets up with him. I guess there is some environmental activist named santos that meets and unfortunate end, and they are sort of involved. The plot of this movie is so really hard to follow. Maybe because there really is not much of a plot at all. The last 15min are sort of exciting, only because you know it's almost over so you can do something else.
Yes, Sandra has a love scene. No it's exciting enough to watch this movie.
Ever watched a movie that made you keep looking at the VCR to see how long you had been watching it? That is This Movie!
Movie gets a nice big 2 out of 10 from me.
