				Why watch this? 
				The sequences where the crew captures these magnificent animals 
				are incredible. 
				Plot Summary: 
				A diverse group of professional game catchers in East Africa 
				capture wild animals for zoos around the world. Their 
				challenging and often dangerous work involves exciting wildlife 
				chases and stunning African landscapes. The team's dynamic 
				shifts with the arrival of a beautiful female wildlife 
				photographer hired to document their adventures, adding elements 
				of romance and humor to their normally masculine routines. Dad's Preview: 
				As long as we have zoos, there will be a job for those who 
				capture wild creatures. I can see where this film might offend 
				certain folks today, but it portrays this business as humane, 
				akin to rounding up cattle. As an action film, it is chock full 
				of dangerous, exciting chases, and lots of interactions with 
				animals. This light action comedy is a wonderful 
				look at Africa's finest.
