'''''Jungle Adventurer''''' ({{langx|it|La montagna di luce|lit=The Mountain of Light}}) is an Italian [adventure film](/source/adventure_film). It starred [Richard Harrison](/source/Richard_Harrison_(actor)).

The film is loosely based on [Emilio Salgari](/source/Emilio_Salgari)'s 1902 adventure novel ''La montagna di luce'' (''The Mountain of Light''), which narrates a fictitious attempt to steal the priceless [Koh-i-Noor](/source/Koh-i-Noor) diamond, concocted in 19th-century [India](/source/India) by the [Thuggee](/source/Thuggee) and the dacoits. The original Italian title of both the film and the source novel refers to the name of the jewel.

The film was re-released under several alternate titles, one of which, ''Sandok'', was an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Salgari's fictional pirate [Sandokan](/source/Sandokan), even though neither the novel, nor the film had anything to do with Sandokan's character or the settings of his adventures.
