Short description

Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold follows the English adventurer Allan Quatermain, who is preparing to leave Africa for the United States with his companion Jesse Huston. Their plans change when a dying friend warns him that his brother Robeson has vanished while searching for a legendary lost city. Quatermain sets out into the African interior with Jesse and a small party, crossing deserts and jungle and facing hostile tribes before reaching the golden city of Milosis, which is ruled by a white race and worked by enslaved miners under a cruel lord.

The film is a Cannon Group production directed by Gary Nelson, who had previously made Freaky Friday and The Black Hole. Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone reprise their roles from the earlier adaptation of King Solomon's Mines, with James Earl Jones, Henry Silva, Robert Donner and Doghmi Larbi in support. Gene Quintano and Lee Reynolds wrote the screenplay, and Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus produced.

Released in December 1986, the film took about four million dollars worldwide against a large production, a weak return. On IMDb it holds 4.6 out of 10 from roughly eleven thousand votes, and on TMDB 4.8 out of 10 from around three hundred. A critics' rating of 4.5 out of 10 from five reviews places it in line with those audience scores.

What's left behind the scenes

  • To reduce costs, the majority of the soundtrack was decided to be composed of material recorded by Jerry Goldsmith for "Solomon's Key." Only half an hour of original music for the film was written by composer Michael Linn.
  • The film was shot simultaneously with "King Solomon's Mines".
  • James Earl Jones later admitted that he agreed to appear in the film solely for the money and the opportunity to visit Africa.
