The film is based on a Disneyland attraction of the same name and channels a similar energy to fellow theme park adaptation, Pirates of the Caribbean.

Emily Blunt plays scientist Lily Houghton, searching for a tree in the jungle that is said to have miraculous healing capabilities.

Her journey leads her into the path of Frank, played by Dwayne Johnson, a jungle riverboat captain sceptical that any such tree actually exists.

They will need their combined wits if they are to succeed in their mission, facing the threat of dangerous jungle creatures and a mysterious villain played by Breaking Bad's Jesse Plemons.

Comedian Jack Whitehall will play Blunt's brother, a flamboyantly homosexual character which some have criticised as upholding stereotypes about gay people.

Jungle Cruise is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, best known for his collaborations with Liam Neeson on Unknown, Non-Stop, Run All Night and The Commuter.
