The trailer of Disney's much-anticipated adventure drama Jungle Cruise was unveiled on Friday, October 11. The film starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Emily Blunt promises to take the viewers on a wild ride into the unexplored depths of the Amazon. The Jungle Cruise trailer centers around a brother (Jack Whitehall) and sister (Emily Blunt), who hire a boat captain (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) to row them down the Amazon River as they are in pursuit of a tree believed to have healing powers.
The trailer opens with Emily's character talking about the myth of the healing plant, and then setting out on a journey to reach the same. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, on the other hand, happens to be the owner of a not-so-fancy boat, who sustains a living by giving tour rides into the Amazon. However, Johnson promises his boat ride to be the cheapest yet the most thrilling and for which, he is to take them through places infested with aggressive jungle natives.
