"Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold" is a movie directed by Gary Nelson and released on May 16, 1987 in the USA. It is based on the novel by H. Rider Haggard of the same name. It is the sequel to "King Solomon's Mines".

The role of Allan Quatermain is played by Richard Chamberlain and that of Jesse Huston by Sharon Stone, who was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Awards for "Worst Actress" for this role. The movie also starred James Earl Jones as Umslopogaas, Henry Silva as Agon, Aileen Marson as Queen Nyleptha and Cassandra Peterson as Sorais.

The movie was filmed simultaneously with its prequel, "King Solomon's Mines", although it was released a couple of years later. Despite the tremendous liberties both movies take with the source material, "Allan Quatermain" was loosely based, mostly, in the book sequel of Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines", titled "Allan Quatermain". In that book, which depicts Quatermain's last adventure (although it's just the second in the series of novels), the character and his associates go searching for a lost white tribe in Africa, and end up involved in a war between the rival queens of the kingdom.

To cut costs, the movie score was just a reuse of the material composed by Jerry Goldsmith for the first movie, and just half an hour of original music written by Michael Linn.
