| After ten years of life-threatening, money-losing expeditions, fortune hunters Max Donigan and Leo Porter are about to call it quits. Then, a beautiful young woman appears with a map to the long-lost gold hordes of the ancient Aztecs. Dollar signs in their eyes, the trio embarks for darkest Guatemaia, where it's one cliff-hanger after another as they battle merciless mercenaries, hero-hungry jungle critters and the super-naturally evil Aztec medicine man, El Coyote! It's a free-spirited, head-over-heels romb into high-adrenaline action adventure! | ||||||||||||||||||||

| "Where to start with this movie? Where to end? Even more to the point, in which order to show the reels? "Firewalker" is a free-form anthology of familiar images from works of Steven Spielberg, subjected to a new process that we could call discolorization. All of the style and magic are gone..." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Max: Watch he'll say something like "So gentlemen, we meet again". The General: So gentlemen, we meet again Max: I told ya. |
