Anaconda (film)

The plot of the film begins with the fact that one poacher (Danny Trejo) is trying to contact the rescue service via radio. But to no avail. Anaconda penetrates his ship. He shoots a revolver several times, but misses. He climbs the mast and commits suicide.

The film crew sets off on a trip to the Amazon to explore an unknown tribe. They are called "Mist Men."

And when a thunderstorm begins, researchers stumble upon a person whose ship is stuck in the water thicket. Researchers help him. One day, when the team’s ship comes across a barrier ... Paul Saron (John Voight) blows up the barrier, the discarded bushes push fuel barrels into the river and snakes appear on the ship.

The team has only one fuel barrel left. On the way, they stumble upon an abandoned ship of that same poacher. In the hope of finding fuel there, three people (including Saron) are sent to the ship. They do not find fuel there, but Saron finds and secretly appropriates a newspaper with a photograph where he Mateo and that same poacher caught the anaconda, and it turns out that Saron was a friend of this poacher. Saron also finds equipment and anaconda leather in the chest. When they are about to leave, Mateo (Vincent Castellanos) becomes the victim of an anaconda. She chokes him and swallows, Saron and Danny (Ice Cube) are already too far to notice. Danny sets off in search of him, but finds only his lantern. Saron shows the team anaconda skin. Saron knows that Mateo ate the anaconda. But the rest do not believe him and decide to wait for Mateo until morning. At night, Saron and Gary (Owen Wilson) decide to catch the anaconda. The next night they succeed. But Gary becomes a victim of a snake.

Now Saron's manic nature was visible to the naked eye. He manages to stun and tie. In the morning, the ship runs aground. Danny and Terry (Jennifer Lopez) decide to organize the shift of the ship, but they again stumble upon the anaconda. Terry manages to shoot her, but Saron pounces on Terry and kills Denise (Carey Wührer) while the others save the barge. Meanwhile, the anaconda grabs and kills Warren (Jonathan Hyde), distracting her from Danny and Terry, and falls with him into the water. As a result, the tree lands on a barge. Saron prepares to shoot Danny, but gets a dart with a sleeping pill from the awakened Kal (Eric Stolz).

After a while, the ship stumbles upon another base. There Terry and Danny manage to find fuel, but they are deafened by Saron. He binds them and pours them with monkey blood and lures the anaconda. She wraps them with her rings, Saron intervenes and picks up the network, and the cable wraps around the block. But under the weight of the anaconda, the block burst. Anaconda attacks Saron and swallows him (then burps). Danny is preparing a trap, at the same time Terry climbs the tower. Danny sets fire to fuel. The base explodes, the anaconda is engulfed in fire. She dives and puts out the fire, then attacks Terry again. Danny finishes off the anaconda with ax blows to the head.

At the end, the surviving team members find the tribe in search of which they went.
