Fire on the Amazon is a 1993 American-Peruvian adventure drama film directed by Luis Llosa and starring Craig Sheffer and Sandra Bullock.
In Bolivia's Amazon basin, corporate cattle ranches are replacing the rain forest. When Santos, the charismatic leader of the union of rubber tappers, forges an alliance with natives to protest deforestation, he is assassinated. R.J. O'Brien, a US photo-journalist who has no skills as an investigator, thinks the police have framed and murdered an innocent native as the assassin. In his search for the truth, he involves Alyssa Rothman, who worked for Santos, and they fall in love. As he gets deeper into trouble with the cops and the real assassin, he needs not only Alyssa's help, but also that of the natives' leader.
As reported on A&E's Biography on November 18, 2005, in an interview clip with the film's director, the film was a harrowing experience in many ways. Bullock was concerned that the canoe she was riding could have possibly tipped over and dumped her in dangerous waters.
