The Rundown (2003) In an attempt to earn enough money to start his own small business, the dauntless bounty hunter–or retrieval expert–and aspiring restaurateur, Beck, is talked into bringing back home his shady boss’ adventure-seeking son, Travis, from the impenetrable Amazon jungle. However, there, in the dusty town of El Dorado, Beck is in for a wild ride, as the local tyrant and powerful mining baron, Cornelius Hatcher, too, is desperately trying to track down Travis: the only person who knows the exact location of a precious golden artefact. Now, the feisty barmaid with the hidden agenda, Mariana, and Hatcher’s small army of whip-cracking gun-toting henchmen are after Beck and Travis, hell-bent on finding first the rare statuette. Will they get out of the jungle in one piece? ?Nick RiganasAwards: 2 wins & 3 nominationsBudget: $85,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $80,981,914Soundtrack: Dixie Chicken (Written by Lowell George, Martin Kibbee)
