Dora and the Lost City of Gold: In the live-action adaptation of the Nickelodeon series of the same name, bright Latina girl Dora must survive her biggest adventure yet: high school.
Plot and background
Some years have passed since Dora explored the jungle with her parents, Boots the monkey and her talking backpack. In the meantime, Dora (Isabela Moner) is a real teenager who, of course, also has to go to school – high school. At school, Dora first has to get her bearings. However, Dora does not let this discourage her. Instead, she curiously shoulders her backpack and looks forward to class.
But at high school, Dora not only makes new friends, she also has to deal with the arrogant class president Sammy (Madeleine Madden). Luckily, grandmother Valerie (Adriana Barraza) always has good advice. When then Dora’s parents (Michael Peña and Eva Longoria) disappear without leaving a trace. Who could be behind it? Boots, her cousin Diego (Jeffrey Wahlberg) and her new boyfriend Randy (Nicholas Coombe) help her solve the difficult mystery.
