Under the Mountain is a 2009 New Zealand film directed by Jonathan King starring Sam Neill, Oliver Driver, Sophie McBride, and Tom Cameron.

Teenage twins Rachel and Theo travel to Auckland to stay with relatives following the sudden death of their mother.

They visit Mt Eden, where Theo sees Mr Jones, a strange old man from whose hands fire seems to glow.

Rachel is alarmed and reaches out to Theo but, terrified of getting close to anyone since his mother's death, he pushes her away and sets out alone to find the fireraiser – the man he saw on the mountain top... Based on the original novel by Maurice Gee: Kirsty Wilkinson, the former New Zealand child actress, who originally portrayed Rachel Matheson in the 1981 television adaptation of "Under the Mountain", made her cameo appearance as Mr. Jones' Neighbour.
