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.
