THE DANGEROUS JOURNEY (Cinema)


Four members of a team making a geological survey for a mining company find themselves trapped deep in a forest when they are delayed by heavy rains. The only way back to camp is closed to them because a swollen river has carried the bridge away. Although he will not admit it, Leon, the boss, starts to lose control of the situation.
