Only the most incredible parts of the story are true. Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer star in this tense, terrific and true adventure set in 1896 East Africa. There, two lions on man-eating rampage have shut down the construction of a railway. The beasts hunt together, showing no fear of man or fire. What's more, they're killing for sport rather than for food-and they have an almost supernatural knack for knowing what traps await them. Big-game hunter Remington (Douglas) and construction engineer Patterson (Kilmer) set out to stop these unstoppable monsters. But, in this astonishing tale of man against beast, the hunters become the hunted.

Hodnotenia a recenzie

The building of this rail route began in 1896 and the film is based on events that took place during 1898 when a pack of two male lions began to kill and eat workers and their livestock. The ghost and the darkness dramatisation of this event makes for a great film based around real events.

Set in 1945 africa, based on a really good true story

Good story but grainy picture. Definitely not HD as advertised.
