About Brenda Starr
Fearless reporter Brenda Starr needs a big scoop if she wishes to retain her lofty status within the world of journalism, so she ventures deep into the Amazon Rainforest to investigate a story involving a mad scientist's plot to blow the planet to smithereens. Her investigation pits her against a collection of dastardly villains and the myriad dangers of the jungle.
Directed by Robert Ellis Miller, Brenda Starr leans on a strong ensemble — Brooke Shields, Timothy Dalton, Diana Scarwid — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1989.
