This article argues that Rider Haggard’s 1885 novel King Solomon’s Mines and filmed versions of it were a major influence on Ryan Coogler’s 2018 hit film Black Panther. It examines ways in which the modern film in reversing some of the plot and colonial tropes of the original nonetheless remains indebted to it and that this source helps explain some of the weaknesses and inconsistencies of the plot of Black Panther.
