Romancing the Stone (1984): Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Treasure


     Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Romancing the Stone (1984) inevitably drew some unfair critical comparisons to Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the film stands on it's own and ranks amongst the best films of 1984. The story concerns a romance novelist, who travels to Colombia to deliver a treasure map to the abductors of her sister… along the way, she meets an adventurer who convinces her that they should go after the treasure on their own. Full of action and genuine comedic moments, the film is enjoyable throughout. Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner have good chemistry in the lead roles. Danny DeVito costars.
