The Jewel of the Nile (1985)

Plot: After six long months of dreamlike sunsets, seductive cocktails, and endless travels around the globe on their yacht, Jack Colton and Joan Wilder are finally starting to get bored with their stagnant relationship and the easy life. However, life will soon get back in the fast lane, when a polite but insistent invitation by the sinister aspiring monarch, Omar, involves Joan in a new adventure in the Nile and the deserts of Anatolia, hot on the trail of yet another mythical gemstone. Is this elusive "Jewel of the Nile" the missing ingredient in Jack and Joan's love life?

Alternative Plot: Novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) is living with adventurer boyfriend Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) on his yacht. But she leaves when Omar (Spiros Focas), the head of a North African nation, asks her to visit his country and write about him. Jack intends to go on a pleasure cruise to Greece, but when he learns that Joan is a pawn in Omar's quest to polish his image and gain greater power, he partners with continent-hopping criminal Ralph (Danny DeVito) in a quest to free her.
