It's a hot trek through the desert!

A commendable sequel to the first film with Kathleen Turner returning as a famous romance novelist Joan Wilder, Michael Douglas as Jack Colton and Danny DeVito as greedy little Ralph who has his heart set on acquiring the "Jewel" of the Nile.
This time our novelist is suffering from writer’s block and gets mixed up with a Sheik when she agrees to write his biography. When she is kidnapped, Jack and Ralph have to come to her rescue.
Jewel of the Nile is a funny action movie and includes a hilarious scene where they trek through the desert with some angry Muslims hot on their heels. Worth a look if you prefer desert to jungles and the youthful Micheal Douglas is handsome and stylish as the dare-devil hero.
