Collider ·

Dwayne Johnson’s 2003 adventure film *The Rundown* is now available on Prime Video. The early leading role paired jungle action with buddy-comedy elements, helping show Johnson in a different kind of part before his later *Jumanji* films.

Their mission becomes more complicated when they encounter Mariana, a local with knowledge of the jungle, and Hatcher, a gold-mining colonel played by Christopher Walken; Rosario Dawson, Ewen Bremner and Jon Gries also feature.

In short

  • *The Rundown* has arrived on Prime Video.

Explained simply

The Rundown is a 2003 action-adventure film set in the Brazilian jungle. It stars Dwayne Johnson as Beck, a fixer hired to bring back Travis, played by Seann William Scott.

Their search draws them into conflict with Mariana, who knows the area, and Hatcher, a colonel running a gold mine, played by Christopher Walken. The film blends jungle action with comedy between its two leads, and came early in Johnson’s acting career, before his later Jumanji films.
