Romancing the Stone is a 1984 action-adventure film directed by Robert Zemeckis.
They were created with one purpose, to entertain. They were tales of high adventure, but they were also love stories. They were called adventure movies and they entertained millions both young and old alike.
From that classic Hollywood tradition comes Romancing the Stone, the story of a successful romance author who finds herself thrust into real-life adventures in South America with a fearless rogue who resembles the fictional hero of her novels.
Although contemporary in style, tone and period, Romancing the Stone hearkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, when movie audiences were delighted by pictures like The African Queen, King Solomon's Mines, To Have and Have Not, Casablanca and The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Tagline: She's a girl from the big city. He's a reckless soldier of fortune. For a fabulous treasure, they share an adventure no one could imagine... or survive.
