About this movie

Carroll Ballard (The Black Stallion, Fly Away Home) directs the exciting story of 12-year-old Xan (Alexander Michaletos), who decides to return the cheetah he raised from a cub to the wild instead of allowing pursuers to place it in captivity. Harsh South African landscapes, stalking lions, crocodiles, river rapids and a mysterious drifter (Eamonn Walker) who may intend to turn the big cat in for cash - all will test Xan's courage and resolve. Join him in this tale of growing up and letting go. It's a journey you won't want to miss. MPAA Rating: PG (c) 2005 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Ratings and reviews

This movie deserves more attention. Beautifully shot from beginning to end. Solid characters that you can sympathize with. The story is paced well enough to appreciate the African wild and as well follow the journey of the characters. Must watch.

Family entertainment don't get much better than this. A rare gem.
