Amazon was a syndicated television show created by Peter Benchley. It was developed by Canadian production companies Alliance Atlantis Communications & WIC Entertainment and German company Beta Film GmbH. The 22 episodes of the series were in first-run syndication between 1999 and 2000.

The drama series focused on the six survivors of a crashed airline flight in the Brazilian Amazon jungle. The group soon comes into contact with a Native American tribe (The Fierce Ones), and relations are anything but friendly. The group is taken in by a mysterious tribe (The Chosen), who descended from 16th century British colonists who were lost in Amazon. Relations with the Chosen are tenuous at best. Most of the group escapes the Chosen only to stir up a hornets nest with a tribe of cannibals (The Jaguar People), led by an insane American woman bent on domination of all the local tribes.

A Bible and a Gun

Karen, Jimmy and Alex argue about who will fly, as the hydroplane can only take 2 persons. Karen has piloting hours in her favor. The choice remains between Jimmy and Alex. In a fight with Alex, Jimmy is shot and severely injured. When Karen goes to the hydroplane to have it ready for departure in emergency, she sees it pulled away in the river by some of Morag's sons. She takes advantage of a moment of distraction and flies away with the hydroplane. Jimmy and Alex remain on the ground. Alex decides to go back to the Natives' village to find the shaman who helped him before and leaves Jimmy alone, promising to be back two days after. Jimmy starts having hallucinations. They take out some dynamites out of the plane. The wild child from the forest, that Elder Cole, Andrew and Korakal helped to escape is chased and taken back to the village on Balaam's order.
