Plot Summary
In this fact-based film, George Adamson (Richard Harris) runs a program on the Kora Reserve in Kenya that helps to ease zoo-bred lions into their natural habitat. He hires Tony (John Michie), an odd-jobber knocking around Africa, as his assistant. Together, along with George's brother, Terence (Ian Bannen), they struggle to keep the program operating in the face of poachers, an unstable Kenyan government and personal hurdles, including George's estrangement from his wife, Joy (Honor Blackman).
