The Jungle Book (1994)

Set during the late 1800s in India, Rudyard Kipling’s timeless story about the boy raised by wolves is given a lush screen treatment.  Jason Scott Lee stars as Mowgoli who is orphaned and grows to adulthood in the jungle.  He is content but curious about the humans he sees, particularly Kitty (Lena Headey) who he new as a child.  The two form a friendship that blossoms into a sweet romance that is threatened by the greedy and jealous Cpt. William Boone (Cary Elwes).  Things get even more complicated when William learns that Mowgoli knows the location of a fabulous treasure.

This film was shot mostly on location in Bombay and Jodhpur, India.
