David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
看到预告里的山寨戴维琼斯的时候我一切都明白了，原来宣传里说的“下一个加勒比海盗”是这个意思啊……
迪士尼为了丛林奇航项目专门定制的电影？巨石强森最近老接这种片子，感觉他越来越油腻了……（指各种强行的吻戏）特效什么的没得说。
都能想到的“套路”，为了剧情的发展有的“巧合”比如男主在医院，剧团来演出。其中一星给狼的表演。相比较失去你，我失去的双腿同样令我很痛苦。最后的追逐戏真好看。个人认为高潮部分是最后放出的真实的英雄飞行员们的事迹。
快看睡着了，看得出来想弄一出加勒比海盗式的娱乐片，所以又是探险诅咒解谜这老一套，强森当然也是有魅力的，但这个角色真的比杰克船长差太多
都主旋律了，就别整群体致敬了，导演自己拍得下去吗？电影整体观感可以对飙《短津湖》了。
俄罗斯的电影还是拍的不错，这种片子应该多出现，好莱坞的文化太独断，社会本应该是多元化的
被诅咒的蛇人、树人、蜜蜂人、泥巴人超酷，可惜结局没有解了他们的诅咒。
恶狼傻就罢了，把党卫军拍的也傻了吧唧的就是导演傻了。
男主意志好坚定，不论是荒野求生的时候，还是后来残废了，还坚持要当飞行员，好钦佩！
迪士尼这是搞了个亚马逊版新加勒比海盗么...这大概就是马丁所说的游乐园式电影吧，而且真的是从游乐园项目改编成电影的，以前至少得拍完电影再去圈钱，现在直接倒过来，而且连续集都规划好了。开头的室内梯子动作戏有点意思，后面都是冒险片老套路了
老套冒险片大拼盘，可能低龄儿童会喜欢~6.0
这类cop with a troubled past and an estranged wife的电影真的审美疲劳了，老吉可以不要再接这样的角色了吗。
低配版加勒比海盗，宁愿花钱做一只CG豹也不愿好好设计一下大决战
幼齿合家欢，迪士尼流水生产线。JNH的OST是唯一亮点，年度十佳原声候选。
还不错，蛮好玩的。想起了在迪士尼的晶彩奇航，坐了好几遍呢~
这类cop with a troubled past and an estranged wife的电影真的审美疲劳了，老吉可以不要再接这样的角色了吗。
这糟糕特效竟然是迪士尼？邓斯特老公真挺好。
亚马逊河流丛林探险流水线作业，整体节奏较欢快，设定有点加勒比海盗，这个设定也是情节中的最大亮点，完全可以好好挖掘一番，最后的场景特效还是美好的。在这个要不片荒要不就是玉玉片扎堆的季节，难得给人带来一丝轻松
不用带脑子看的迪斯尼套路合家欢娱乐电影，各种层面的无功无过但是体验极好，3d效果尤其舒适且应用到位，毕竟本质就是迪斯尼乐园丛林游船项目的电影版嘛。
小时候就听说过没有双脚的苏联英雄飞行员的故事。致敬英雄！
