King Solomon's Mines
Omtale
When George Neville vanishes while searching for King Solomon's diamond mines in Africa, his brother, Sir Henry Curtis, knows that he cannot find his brother without help. Said to be located in an unexplored and dangerous region, Curtis seeks out Allan Quatermain, an esteemed hunter and explorer. However, Quatermain is reluctant to help, due to the dangerous nature of the rescue mission, and out of concern for his son, who would be defenseless if Quatermain was unable to return. After making a deal to ensure his son's wellbeing in the event of an untimely death, Quatermain and Curtis start to assemble an expedition group. With the help of an old map said to have been used by a man who claimed to have found King Solomon's treasure, Quatermain and Curtis embark on a perilous rescue mission with their crew. As they trek across unfamiliar land with low supplies, they struggle to overcome the harsh conditions of the terrain, causing tragic accidents and breeding doubt that they will make it back home alive. But when they stumble into an unrelenting cave, the group of explorers make a shocking discovery and meet a native group on the brink of a civil war, complicating their mission even further.
