An explorer looking for a priceless missing Inca treasure in the Amazon jungle runs across a bikini clad and barefoot young woman named Eve, who is worshipped as a goddess by jungle natives.

Quick Answer

What is Eve about?

Eve is a 1968 adventure thriller film directed by Jeremy Summers and Robert Lynn about a treasure hunter who discovers a mysterious jungle girl worshipped as a goddess while searching for Incan gold in the Amazon.

Programmer's Pick

Come for the Incan gold, stay for Celeste Yarnall’s turn as a jungle goddess in a bikini. Eve is a prime slice of psychotronic pulp, where adventure, melodrama, and bare feet mix with snakes and double-crosses.

Overview

Set against the lush and perilous backdrop of the Amazon, Eve follows adventurer Mike Yates on his quest for a legendary cache of Incan treasure. When his partner vanishes, Yates uncovers more than he bargained for: a mysterious, barefoot jungle girl named Eve, revered as a goddess by local tribes—and the target of a roster of pursuers, from exploitative showmen to desperate explorers. As Yates navigates a tangle of impersonators and hidden motives, he must unravel the truth about Eve and her grandfather, all while dodging the jungle’s many threats. Expect a brisk, melodramatic ride laced with catfights, swindles, and the promise of riches.
