The ‘hilarious’ movie, initially released in 2022, has recently climbed up to number three on the streamer’s Top 10 Movies in the UK Today.
The Lost City follows Loretta Page, a writer played by Sandra, who is abducted by a criminal billionaire, played by Harry Potter‘s Daniel, in the pursuit of a substantial archaeological discovery.
Channing plays Dach McMahon, an air-headed actor who features on the covers of Loretta’s books, while Brad plays Jack Trainer, a contractor who is hired to help rescue the writer.
The synopsis for The Lost City reads: “Reclusive author Loretta Sage writes about exotic places in her popular adventure novels that feature a handsome cover model named Alan.
“While on tour promoting her new book with Alan, Loretta gets kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire who hopes she can lead him to an ancient city’s lost treasure from her latest story.
“Determined to prove he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages of her books, Alan sets off to rescue her.”
The film has grown in popularity, with an 83 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, fans have taken to X(Twitter) and complimented the rom-com while singing its praises.
Taking to the social media platform, one user said of Channing: “From The Lost City to [21 Jump Street] he’s bloody hilarious! Snaps for that dude.
“@channingtatum Also, #thelostcity is a criminally underrated film, imo – Sandy&Channing&Brad? Name me a more iconic trio…”
