The Naked Jungle! Must see!
Charlton Heston did this one back in the 50s. He plays a South America plantation owner who built an empire out of the jungle, while the natives stand around and look simple. When faced with a maruading army of fire ants he stays and fights against nature when the natives run screaming. There are actually numerous mentions of race and caste, and Heston's character is clearly a white racist, even though there is no overt recial theme.
