Bob Rafelson's Mountains Of The Moon, based on William Harrison's biographical novel 'Burton and Speke', tells the story of 19th century explorers Captain R.F. Burton (Patrick Bergin) and Lt. John Hanning Speke's (Iain Glen) 1854 expedition to Africa to find the source of the river Nile. Shot in the actual locations where the events unfolded, the protagonists sustain injuries and illness and encounter animosity from tribes as they struggle with the uncompromising African wilderness. The film also plots the emerging friendship of the two men against such hardness and the subsequent acrimony when Speke betrays Burton by taking all of the credit for their discoveries.
