The Australian film “The Diamond of Jeru” was actually released for the U.S. cable TV in 2001. Based on the Louis L’Amour novel, the movie relates the story of an American atomic scientist from Los Alamos, New Mexico and his wife, John and Helen Lacklan, who embark on a risky journey in search of diamonds in the Borneo river in the year 1955. For their journey, the couple hires an expat war veteran to serve as their guide whom they also fired later on.
John Lacklan played by Keith Carradine is a restless man bored with his marriage. To keep his spirit alive, John and his wife thought of going to Borneo to search for a diamond that would fill up the empty space in Mrs. Lacklan’s wedding ring.
