In the Lost City, a romance novelist gets kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire.

Her fate rests, at least in part, on the help of the model who appears shirtless on her

book covers.

The film stars Sandra Bullock as the novelist, Daniel Radcliffe as the billionaire and

Channing Tatum as the model who desperately wants to be the hero.

I'm Linda Holmes.

And I'm Stephen Thompson today, we are talking about the Lost City on pop culture happy hour

from NPR.

Here with Linda and me is our own Aisha Harris Aisha.

Hello, Stephen.

It is so nice to see you.

So the Lost City stars Sandra Bullock as Loreta Sage, a romance novelist who is feeling

burned out and still mourning the death of her husband while she's promoting her latest

book, she's kidnapped by the duplicitous billionaire Abigail Fairfax, who seeks a real life-lost

treasure referenced in her writing.

Her cover model Alan, again that's Channing Tatum, embarks on a bumbling quest to maneuver

his way through the jungle and save her.

The film also features supporting performances by divine joy Randolph, Oscar Nunez, Patty

Harrison, Bowen Yang, and a plucky newcomer by the name of Brad Pitt.

It's totally speaking the Lost City lands somewhere between swashbuckling jungle epics like

romancing the stone and more recent action comedies like the 2013 Sandra Bullock vehicle

the heat.
