In the early 1980s, 22-year-old Israeli backpacker Yossi Ghinsberg (Daniel Radcliffe) and two friends set off from the Bolivian city of La Paz on what was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. But their dream trip soon turned into a wilderness nightmare from which not all of the men returned.

Adapting Ghinsberg’s acclaimed memoir, thriller auteur Greg McLean takes on an altogether different kind of terror in Jungle, all the more potent for being true.

Filmography: The Belko Experiment (2016), The Darkness (2014), Rogue (2007), Wolf Creek (2005).
