movie poster for The Lost City. A man and woman walk through a jungle with a volcano in the distance. She is Sandra Bullock, a slim brunette, with hair down past her shoulders, wearing a pink sequined jumpsuit that has been cut into shorts. He is Channing Tatum, wearing a dirty white t-shirt and khaki pants with a backpack and an travel neck pillow around his neck, pulling a rolling suitcase.
