[edit] Story
Anthropologists deep in the Amazon uncover the remains of a man they come to determine was approximately 300-years old when he died. This leads to a second expedition to discover the reason behind his longevity, but there's a major problem in the form of an Amazonian tribe that guards the proverbial fountain of youth and the giant, multi-headed snake they worship.
The scientists, local amazonians, and their guide, Stephen Baldwin, work their way through the jungle losing half the crew on the way and discover the tribe known as the Snake People. Once they find the tribe, they are held hostage and they only way they can leave peacefully is if they bring their recently discovered remains.
The scientists are able to contact the head of the expedition who promises to bring the body back. When he and his soldiers show up and without the body, they become enemies with the snake people. They search for the fountain of youth killing snake people along the way. They find it's in a cave and the final battle between them and the snake takes place. The enitre team of soldiers are killed and the only people left are Jayne Heitmeyer and Stephen Baldwin, who find that they need to keep the secrets to eternal youth with the snake people.
