Details
In the movie The Ghost and the Darkness (1996), Sir Robert Beaumont faces delays in constructing a railroad in Africa. To address this, he hires the renowned engineer John Henry Patterson to rectify the situation. At first, the project appears to be running smoothly, but their progress is halted abruptly when the crew discovers the grisly murder of the foreman, apparently executed by a lion.
As the attacks continue, Patterson realizes that they are dealing with two cunning and ferocious man-eating lions, who become known as The Ghost and The Darkness. Determined to protect his crew, Patterson calls upon the expertise of experienced hunter Charles Remington. However, even Remington finds himself challenged by these bloodthirsty predators.
The movie follows the intense and suspenseful cat-and-mouse game between the humans and the lions, as they desperately try to outsmart and eliminate each other. As the body count rises and tension mounts, the hunters must adapt their strategies while battling fear and uncertainty.
Combining action, adventure, and horror elements, The Ghost and the Darkness keeps viewers on the edge of their seats as they witness the relentless pursuit and battle for survival between man and beast in the African wilderness.
