The Story of The Lost City revolves around best-selling author Loretta (Sandra Bullock) and her book-cover royal model, Allen (Channing Tatum): While promoting a new book with Alan, Loretta is kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe). The billionaire is convinced that Loretta's new book will lead him to the treasures of the lost ancient city. Meanwhile, Alan decides to go and rescue her in order to prove that he can be a hero in reality, not just a fictional mirror image...
Director Adam Nee said of the film's origins, "The idea was to make this film like Raiders of the Lost Ark, with a real adventure scene. Alan Nye added, "Paramount breaks this (IP movies are all the rage) trend by venturing out on a new original adventure movie that is not based on the old IP, and I salute it." ”

This year marks the thirty-fifth anniversary of Sandra Bullock, a well-known Actress in Hollywood and winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress. In the mid-1990s, after the era of Chinese mainland introduction of blockbusters began, "The Speed of Life and Death" (1994), co-starring Bullock and Keanu Reeves, was a classic memory of a generation. Coincidentally, the day of the Chinese premiere on July 26 was Sandra Bullock's 58th birthday.
The directors praised Sandra Bullock's performance. "There's no doubt that the film's focus is on the character story of Loretta (the character played by Sandra Bullock). We kept asking Sandra before filming, 'This time you're going to cross the river, you're going to go to the sea, you're going into the jungle, are you sure you want to do that?' In fact, it wasn't just sequined jumpsuits, she also had to step on high heels through the jungle. According to her, it took her foot a month to recover after the killing. ”
In the face of praise and compliments from the director and the film's main creators, Bullock also believes that the difficulty that had to be overcome in "The Lost City" was the jumpsuit (it is said that there are as many as 20 sets), "which is a major feature in itself." The beauty of this story is that it's not about one person falling in love with another, but about falling in love with one's own life again. She must fall in love with her new chapter and accept it. ”
