Novelist Joan Wilder leaves life aboard Jack Colton’s yacht for a book assignment in a North African kingdom, only to find she’s been drawn into a ruler’s plan to remake his image and tighten his grip on power. Kathleen Turner’s Joan is suddenly navigating palace intrigue, abductions, and desert escapes, while Michael Douglas returns as Jack, the swaggering adventurer racing after her. Danny DeVito’s Ralph gets pulled back into the chaos too, turning the rescue into a tangle of uneasy alliances, close calls, and bickering romance across the Middle East.
