The Jewel of the Nile
The Jewel of the Nile is a 1985 American action-adventure romantic comedy film directed by Lewis Teague and produced by Michael Douglas, who also starred in the lead role, reuniting with co-stars Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito, reprising their roles from the 1984 action-adventure film Romancing the Stone.
Like Romancing the Stone, the opening scene takes place in one of Joan's novels. This time, instead of Jesse and Angelina in Joan's wild-west scenario, Joan and Jack are about to be married when pirates attack their ship. The Jewel of the Nile sends its characters off on a new adventure in a fictional African desert, in an effort to find the fabled "Jewel of the Nile".
The song performed by Billy Ocean, "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going", became a major international hit, reaching #1 in the UK and #2 in the US.
Six months after the events of Romancing the Stone, Joan Wilder's and Jack Colton's romance has grown stale. While moored at a port in Southern France, Joan, suffering writer's block, wants to return to New York, while Jack prefers sailing the world on his boat. At a book signing engagement, Joan meets Omar Khalifa, a charming Arab ruler who wants Joan to write his biography.
Joan accepts and leaves with Omar over Jack's protests. Jack later runs into Ralph, the swindler from Jack and Joan's previous adventure in Colombia, who demands that Jack turn over the stone Jack and Joan found. Shortly after, an Arab, Tarak, informs Jack about Omar's true intentions and claims that Omar has the "Jewel of the Nile." Just as Tarak finishes his explanations, the boat explodes from a bomb set by one of Omar's men. Ralph and Jack team up to find Joan and the fabled jewel.
Joan soon discovers that Omar is a brutal dictator rather than the enlightened ruler which he claimed would unite the Arab world. In the palace jail, Joan encounters Al-Julhara, a holy man who is, in fact, the "Jewel of the Nile". Al-Julhara tells Joan that Omar plans to declare himself ruler of all of the Arab world at a ceremony in the city of Kadir. Realizing that Al-Julhara is the only one who can stop Omar, Joan escorts him to Kadir. The pair escape and find Jack, and they flee into the desert in Omar's hijacked F-16 fighter jet. Ralph is captured by Tarak's rebel Sufi tribe, sworn to protect the Jewel.
Omar intends to use a smoke-and-mirror special effect in Kadir to convince onlookers that he is the prophet who will unite the Arab world. Jack, Joan, and Al-Julhara arrive to expose Omar but are captured. Omar puts Jack and Joan in a death trap while Al-Julhara is in a stockade. Ralph, along with the Sufi tribe, arrives in time to rescue the three prisoners.
As Omar takes center stage to address the Arab people, Jack and Joan disrupt the ceremony while the Sufi battle Omar's guards. Jack and Joan are separated as a fire breaks out, and Omar corners Joan atop the burning scaffolding. Ralph, using a giant crane, helps Jack reach Joan. He kicks Omar into the flames, killing him. Al-Julhara rises and safely walks through the fire, fulfilling the prophecy that he is the true spiritual leader.
