The Ghost and the Darkness

(1996)Directed by Stephen Hopkins109 min · RAdventure, Thriller, History
“Prey For The Hunters”

The foreman's mutilated body turns up at the Tsavo railroad camp in Kenya in 1898, and the workers decide a lion killed him. Engineer John Henry Patterson (Val Kilmer) came to bring a late bridge project back on schedule, and with the attacks continuing he sends for the famed hunter Charles Remington (Michael Douglas). Stephen Hopkins turns a building project into a contest over who is the hunter and who is the prey, and the camp has no good answer.
