Academy Award -winner Michael Crichton* (Jurassic Park) takes you deep into the Congo, where the hunters become the hunted and humans are the endangered species. Oscar nominee Laura Linney* (Mystic River), Dylan Walsh (TV's Nip/Tuck), Ernie Hudson (Miss Congeniality 2) and Tim Curry (Kinsey) come together as a group of explorers searching for the mythical riches of the Lost City of Zinj. But the expedition soon turns deadly - someone in the jungle is watching their every move in this action-packed adventure filled with breathtaking visuals, heart-pounding suspense... and a new breed of killers.

They`ve eluded heat-seeking missiles, gone eyeball-to-eyeball with enraged 5,000-pound hippos, hacked through a jungle curtain. Still, the expedition continues.

A professor (Dylan Walsh), electronics expert (Laura Linney, The Truman Show) guide (Ernie Hudson), explorer (Tim Curry) and others follow the scampering ape. They know she will lead them to the place that's more than her home - it`s the site of the fabled Lost City of Zinj and its diamond mines. But what they don`t know can be fatal. Once they enter Zinj, they`ll be the endangered species! From the best seller by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) comes an event-packed adventure filled with state-of-the-art technology and primal fear.
