Jungle Cruise is based upon the Disney theme park attraction of the same name, and will see Johnson playing Frank, a riverboat captain who is hired to take a scientist (Emily Blunt) and her brother (Jack Whitehall) on a mission into the jungle to search for a mythical tree believed to possess magical healing powers. All the while, the company must content with dangerous wild animals, as well as a competing German expedition.
