The movie starts with a scene of a group of hunters trapping and killing a herd of lions. One of them escapes and wounds and kills some of the hunters.

After the demise of his ex-wife, Dr. Nate brings his two daughters, Mare and Norah, to Africa for a family vacation, in hopes to reconnect with his daughters. Mare is still angry that her father left them, Norah is a bit forgiving.

The family arrives in Mopani Game Reserve and joins his friend, Martin who is the Mopani manager. The next day, Martin takes the family on an exclusive tour of the restricted area of Mopani. There, Martin notices one of the lions that the reserve is proud of is injured. And then the group found that a nearby community is dead. He believes that it was done by an injured lion. 

On their way back to the reserve, they encounters an injured man but is unable  to save him.

Martin tracks the lion and gets mauled instead. Then the lion chases after Nate who takes cover in the car with his daughters. Mare drives the car blindly and crashes the car into a tree, leaving the car stalled.

Now trapped inside the car, the trio tries to save Martin from the lion. Finding a tranquilizer gun inside the car, Norah stabs the lion while it was attacking her father. Hoping that it will buy them some time, Mare runs and saves Martin and bring him back into the car to treat his wounds. 

That night, the hunters @ poachers come across Nate's stalled car during their search for the wounded lion. They agreed to transport the group to the next village. But when they see Martin, who is an avid anti-poacher, a quarrel ensues. At this point, the lion attacks, allowing Nate and his daughters time to take one of the poachers' vehicles and runs to safety.

Meanwhile, Martin holds the lion by running it and falls down to the valley, before lighting the vehicle on fire, along with him and the lion. 

Nate and her daughters race to the village schoolhouse where they take refuge and treat Mare's wounds. 

Somehow, the lion survives the car's explosion and now on its way to revenge and found the family. 

Will the family survive the lion's revenge? 

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.7/ 5.0 At times, there were scenes that seem illogical but aren't all movies? The plot is ok with a twist when the lion is not dead, even after the explosion.

Cast: 4.6/ 5.0 Everyone delivers.

Will I Watch It Again: Yes, I don't mind watching it again.
