Jungle Cruise is a 2021 American fantasy adventure film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra from screenplay written by Glenn Ficarra, John Requa, and Michael Green, based on Walt Disney's theme park attraction of the same name. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the film stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti, and follows the captain of a small riverboat who takes a scientist and her brother through a jungle in search of the Tree of Life.

Plans for a feature film based on the Jungle Cruise ride began in 2004 following the success of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl the year prior. The project laid dormant until 2011, when Tom Hanks or Tim Allen were set to star, though that version fell through and Johnson was cast in August 2015 and Blunt the following January. The rest of the cast joined in spring 2018, with filming taking place in Hawaii and Atlanta, Georgia from May through September that year.

Following a year delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jungle Cruise was released in the United States on July 30, 2021, simultaneously in theaters and digitally through Disney+ with Premier Access. The film has grossed over $81 million worldwide, and also made $30 million from Disney+ Premier Access in its opening weekend. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Johnson and Blunt's chemistry and the entertainment values, but criticized the screenplay and the abundance of CGI.

In the 16th century, Don Aguirre leads Spanish conquistador to South America to search for the Tears of the Moon, a mythical tree whose petals cure illness, heal injuries, and lift curses. After many conquistadors die, a local tribe heals the survivors with the tree petals. The tribal chief refuses to reveal the tree's location, and Aguirre stabs him and destroys the village. The dying chief curses the conquistadors, making them immortal and unable to leave sight of the Amazon River for all eternity. The jungle recaptures anyone attempting to escape.
