Curse of Snakes Valley (original Polish title Klątwa Doliny Węży, Russian title Zaklyatie doliny zmei) is a 1987 Polish-Soviet sci-fi adventure movie directed by Marek Piestrak. A former French officer Bernard Traven (Roman Wilhelmi) returns from the First Indochina war with an ancient artifact that appears to be a key to some forgotten place with great treasures. Many years later he returns to Laos together with a Polish scientist Jan Tarnas (Krzysztof Kolberger) and a French journalist Christine Jaubert (Ewa Sałacka) in order to find the treasure that appears to be a legacy of extraterrestrial visit on Earth.
