The Tears of the Moon is the central object (or "MacGuffin") from the 2021 film, Jungle Cruise. It's a tree where a unique flower blooms. When that flower is properly processed, it can slow down aging, cure any disease, and break any curse.
Background[]
Lily Houghton travels to the Amazon to collect the petals of the Tears of the Moon so she can take it to her laboratory and make it into a serum that will allow people to live longer and will also cure terminal diseases, but she is pursued by ruthless Germans who want to get their hands on it first. As such, Frank Wolff is determined to protect her not only from the Germans, but also from the many dangers of the jungle.
Trivia[]
- The Tears of the Moon was not present in the original ride and created solely for the movie.
- Early information on the film identified the tree as the Tree of Life, sharing a name with the park-weenie for Disney's Animal Kingdom.
