When the son (Seann William Scott) of
an underworld kingpin disappears in the Amazon while looking for a
priceless artifact, the kingpin sends his "retrieval" expert (Dwayne
Douglas Johnson, aka The Rock) to get him back. The two men must
eventually join forces to fight their way through the Brazilian
jungle, running into very aggressive baboons, rebels, and the
henchmen of an unsavory mine owner (Christopher Walken) who wants
the artifact for himself. Also with Rosario Dawson and Ernie Misko.

SEX/NUDITY 5 - A man and a woman kiss several times,
and a woman kisses two men on the cheeks. Many baboons gather in
trees surrounding two men, one jumps onto a man and begins molesting
his chest by thrusting against it, and the others in the trees
thrust against the tree trunks. Baboons approach two men who lie
immobile on the ground and start thrusting at trees, until one man
manages to wave a stick at them and yell. A man accuses another man
of "eyeballing" his girlfriend. We see a poster of a topless woman
in the distance (we can discern bare breasts). Men and women dance
seductively together in a nightclub scene. A man takes off his shirt
and we see his bare chest, and another man is shown bare-chested.
Women wear revealing outfits that show cleavage, bare abdomens and
thighs. A man in handcuffs asks another man to unzip his pants, then
he jiggles and wiggles around complaining that he is unable to get
his private parts out of his pants in order to urinate, and he asks
the man to help him; the man refuses and then we hear a trickle.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man is shot in the back and falls
dead to the ground (we see blood pour from his chest), another man
is shot in the leg twice, and another man is shot a few times (he
staggers away and then falls dead). Many people are shot by a group
of men who crash into a camp. A shootout in a village has one man
shooting many other men, one man is trapped in a truck that
eventually explodes sending him through the air, and one man beats
many others up with punches and kicks. A man is shot at by several
men, he fights them with punches and kicks and holds one with a gun
in his mouth and holds another at gunpoint. A whip wraps around a
man's arm and then his fingers are struck with the whip (we see
blood on his fingers). A man is shot twice with bean bags and falls
to the ground in pain. An extensive fight scene shows a man fighting
with many men; one swings from a rope and kicks and punches the man,
then punches him repeatedly in the stomach and face, kicks him
repeatedly, and two men swing from ropes and lift the man into the
air throwing him into a tree where he crashes into limbs all the way
down to the ground. A man throws a hatchet at another man, then they
fight with knives and a flaming log. A bar fight breaks out and one
man fights several other men: there are punches thrown, kicks
exchanged, men are thrown on tables, slammed into the floor, and two
men are kicked hard in the knees (we hear cracking); also, a man
gets a knee to the face, and a man is hit in the head twice with a
turntable. Three men whip and kick a man, then pull knives on him,
and they continue to fight with punches and kicks. A man is shot at
and a man threatens to cut another man's eyes out. A jeep with two
men in it drives off a steep cliff, the two men tumble and bounce
down the side of the mountain hitting trees and rocks as they go (we
hear crunching and groans and thuds), they land in water and the
jeep careens down on top of them. Two men are held at gunpoint by
many men. Two men are ensnared by pig snares and hang from a rope
around their feet. Many baboons growl, scream and bare their teeth
at two men. Huge boulders and timbers begin to crumble and give way
nearly trapping three people. A herd of bulls stampede through a
village, tearing down buildings and dragging people through the
street. A water tower collapses and lands on a jeep and the people
in it jump free just in time. A man punches a man in the face twice,
the man being punched jumps on the other man's back and holds him
around the neck, he is slammed into a tree several times and flung
off his back and hard onto the ground. A man and a woman argue and
she tries to shoot him. A man breaks a glass bottle on another man's
arm, then head-butts him, and the man throws him to the floor and
handcuffs him. A man lights a match that ignites methane in a cave.
Baboons approach two men who lie immobile on the ground and begin to
get aggressive. We hear about poisonous frogs and other things that
can kill you in the Brazilian jungle. Three men fall off a platform.
People run in panic through a village. We see football plays where
players are knocked down hard and then piled upon. A man throws a
drink in another man's face. An airplane flies close to cows
gathered on a runway. A woman talks about a vicious parasite that
can swim into your urinary tract by way of your private parts, which
then have to be amputated. Two men hallucinate and fall to the
ground unable to move after eating a fruit; the same thing happens
to three other men.
