Congo is a 1995 movie, based on Michael Crichton's novel Congo. Greed is bad, this simple morality tale cautions. A megalomaniacal C.E.O. sends his son into the dangerous African Congo; on a quest for a source of diamonds large enough and pure enough to function as a powerful laser communications transmitter. (Allegedly powerful enough to "punch a hole through the moon.") When contact is lost with his son and the team, his sometime daughter-in-law (Laura Linney) is sent after them. She is a former CIA operative accompanied by gee-whiz gadgetry and a few eccentric characters (including a take charge mercenary (Ernie Hudson), a researcher with a talking gorilla (Dylan Walsh), and a treasure-hunter looking for King Solomon's Mines(Tim Curry), and set out to rescue her former fiance. What they all discover is that often what we most want turns out to be the source of our downfall. It was directed by Frank Marshall and stars Dylan Walsh, Laura Linney, Tim Curry, Ernie Hudson, Grant Heslov and Joe Don Baker. The screenplay for the movie was written by John Patrick Shanley. The music was composed by Jerry Goldsmith.

Tagline: "Where you are the Endangered Species."
