 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1992 film directed by John McTiernan, starring Sean Connery and Lorraine Bracco.Hot Scientist Dr. Rae "Bronx" Crane (Bracco) journeys deep into The Amazon to find out what Dr. Robert Campbell (Connery), a Bunny Ears Professor, has been doing since he stopped sending in status reports. Turns out he's discovered the cure for cancer. Well, sort of. He's "lost" it and he has a week to find it again before a logging company builds a road through the only area of forest where the cure is known to exist.

 Chekhov's Gun: Dr. Campbell believes he has found a cure for cancer in the local tribe's sugar supply after realising that the tribe had a very low cancer rate. He figures out that the tribe uses a particular plant for all of their food but he can't reproduce the cure himself. However he didn't consider that the supply could be contaminated and also ignores their liking for sugar coated ants.

 …And That Little Girl Was Me

comment
 ...And That Little Girl Was Me: A very not-nice version. Dr. Campbell tells Dr. Crane why he doesn't want to tell anyone about the cancer cure he thinks he has discovered — because he knows of a doctor who had discovered a painkiller in similar circumstances, which resulted in a tribe being wiped out by swine flu when the drug company came down to mass-produce it. Later on it's revealed that Campbell himself was that doctor.
