Congo

In 1979 a corporate-funded expedition led by geologist Karen Ross, primatologist Peter Elliot, his sign-language-trained gorilla Amy, and mercenary guide Charles Munro races into the Zairean rain forest to find a lost city called Zinj and its fabled diamond deposits, following the trail of a previous expedition wiped out by a mysterious force.
