🏝️ The Lost City (2022): When a Romance Novel Decides to Fight Back

"Sometimes the biggest treasure isn't gold or jewels—it’s realizing your life can be way weirder than your fiction."

She writes about adventure.
He just poses for the cover.
But when a deranged billionaire kidnaps her to find a real lost city, both are thrown into a jungle quest full of bullets, sequins, and surprisingly useful stupidity.

A burned-out author. A clueless cover model. And a treasure no one was supposed to find.
The Lost City follows Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock), a reclusive romance novelist who’s lost her spark—and is just trying to survive a book tour.
Enter Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe), a maniacal billionaire convinced Loretta’s latest novel holds clues to a real-life ancient treasure.

He kidnaps her.
Enter Alan (Channing Tatum), the airheaded but well-meaning model who graces all her covers. He sets off to rescue her—armed with nothing but abs and ambition.
Together, they stumble through jungles, dodge explosions, and accidentally discover a connection more precious than any ancient crown.

Adventure. Romance. And a pair of sequin pants that refuse to tear.
The Lost City is pure joy: a screwball blend of action, chemistry, and comedy, poking fun at the clichés of treasure-hunt films while delivering just enough heart to make it matter.
Brad Pitt drops in for a brief but unforgettable cameo as an ultra-capable rescue mercenary. (Spoiler: His hair has its own fanbase.)

Sometimes, the real lost city is the space between two people who never saw each other coming.
Though the plot treads familiar ground, the film wins with clever writing, charming performances, and a surprising amount of sincerity beneath all the sparkle.
In the end—every treasure hunt is really a search for something missing inside.

To rewrite your life, sometimes you have to escape the pages first.
