The film was originally scheduled to be released on July 24, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they decided to delay its release to the public for a year. Finally, as of July 30, "Jungle Cruise" is available in theaters and on Disney Plus .

Argument
In this story we will meet Lily Houghton, a woman of science who travels with her brother from London to the depths of the Amazon jungle. This with the plan to discover the Tree of Life, a plant that would have such high healing properties that it could change the course of medical science . Frank, the captain of a River boat, will be in charge of taking them through the Jungle, as long as they pay the right price for his services.
The trailer for the film tells us that the protagonists of this story will not only have to face the dangers of nature, they will also have to face what appear to be supernatural forces. The production will be set in the 30s of the last century .
