It's not the worst movie in the history of cinema, but even with just a little better script, directing and acting it would have been much more enjoyable flick. Boothe continues to look for him and after many trials and adventures, stumbles upon him. Look what we are losing, he screams through the dense picture, how can we allow this?

But casting the boy was another matter. Ten years later, Tommy has grown into a confident teen - rechristened Tommé and fully assimilated into the peaceful Invisible People tribe - while his father embarks on a journey into the uncharted regions of the rainforest to finally locate the boy.
Why are they called The People? I liked this movie a lot. In an effort to rescue the native girls, Tommé makes an arduous trip into the city to get his father to help out.

Experts do agree that if anything, the movie is conservative in asserting that 5,000 acres of Amazonian rain forest are disappearing every day. This cleaning of forests angered the tribes living in the forests known as the Invisible people. There is an interesting ambiguity in this, but Boorman chooses the path of melodrama as Boothe and son are reunited with a cloying sense of fulfilment.
