Stephen Sommers’ 1994 live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book is a sweeping adventure that plays more like Indiana Jones than the whimsical 1967 Disney animated classic. Rather than talking animals and musical numbers, this version offers a mature, visually lush "fish-out-of-water" story centered on a grown Mowgli’s struggle to bridge the gap between the wild and "civilized" British India.
