Misleading trailer, isn't it?

I mean the trailer you can watch here on this site. I've never heard of this movie before, but reading about it it doesn't seem like an adventure movie, it seems like they put that in just because of Harrison Ford.

The boy you loved has become the man you feared.

I wouldn't say it's an adventure film but there are elements of adventure in it. It's a really good movie.

I know when my stomach growls there's trouble

You are correct that the trailer fakes it as sn "adventure" movie probably because they knew that the movie sucked wind.
Saw this in first release in 1986 and still want my money back...
