Prey
A young couple is compelled to leave their Christian missionary station in the Kalahari Desert after being threatened with death by an extremist militant gang. After crashing their aircraft they must battle man and beast for their lives directed by Mukunda Michael Dewil with a duration of 1 hour and 26 minutes starring Ryan Phillippe (Andrew) and Mena Suvari (Sue).
The film begins with a doctor named Andrew who fails to save a patient due to lack of equipment in a remote area in Africa. A little later a guide came and told Andrew that they had to clear the area because a terrorist group that hates Americans was coming.
He immediately went Sue his wife who was currently teaching the young people the word of God, he told to his wife that they had to leave because there were terrorists planning to kidnap them. Someone told them that he and his wife were there on a mission.
The two of them got into the car and went to a place where they could board a plane. They heard on the radio that the BUO terrorist was terrorizing people in a large area near Cameron. The wife asked when they would return there because their mission was just starting, Andrew said that they lacked equipment because their medical equipment was stolen.
The other stuff didn’t arrive with the bibles they were shipped because of this it made Andrew think. Even though it was painful he decided that they would not return because he did not expect that the situation of their life in that far away place would be like that.
At the small airport there were other passengers waiting to board their private plane. When the couple arrived, Andrew begged the pilot Tyler to take them together. The pilot took advantage of the opportunity and charged them dearly because the plane was small he let the passengers leave their luggage.
The passengers could do nothing but follow the pilot because the next flight of the plane was next week. Andrew was disappointed in the rotten plane because its other seat belt was broken. The passengers felt scared because the plane they were riding in was shaking. The pilot calmed them down by saying that he had flown the plane several times.
A few moments later, it seemed that something had come loose from behind, so everyone became more worried. A few seconds the plane shook violently as if it no longer had Garmin Integrated Avionics (GIA) until it completely plummeted to the bottom. Everyone lost consciousness for a few moments. When Andrew regained consciousness he saw that one female passenger was dead while the others survived. He saw his wife trapped inside the separated part of the plane.
He asked a passenger named Thabo for help. They tried to pull Sue out of the plane but were stopped by the pilot who also survived. He said there was an iron bar so they couldn’t just pull Sue out. That’s why her doctor husband applied first aid to her.
Meanwhile, Max buried his dead wife when Thabo asked Tyler about the safety of the plane, he yelled at him and then the pilot cursed Andrew by mocking him. The plane they were on crashed in an animal sanctuary. So they immediately looked for rescue Tyler said that they were still in the air for an hour and that they were in a dangerous place.
The scenery there is beautiful but the animals around are dangerous like the lion, Tyler gathers everyone and tells them that they will go to the nearest village. They will walk for a day before reaching the village. What he fears is that they will be in an area where there are many wild animals such as Leopards, Hyenas, and Lions that may attack them. The pilot tells Max that most of these animals come out at night so they need to hurry.
Andrew’s wife can’t walk so their journey will be long, Andrew decides to leaves him and her wife and says they will send help when they reach the village. Tyler warns that if they stay there a Lion might eat them. Andrew promises that they will be fine until rescue arrives. The four started walking when they stopped to rest Max said that they were going in the wrong direction and Tyler said that he knew what they were going through and they needed to continue.
Back at the couple above them, he noticed the hungry vulture wandering around. As he scouts the wrecked plane he discovers a secret at the same time Slick gets dizzy and collapses due to the heat of the sun. Tyler said they still had half an hour to reach the other end after Slick drank some water they continued walking. When Sue wakes up Andrew mentions that he hopes they can adopt a child when they return to America.
After walking for more than half an hour they reached the end of the road where they saw a vast land with no sign of human or animal inhabitants. There it caused them despair Max grabs Tyler’s gun and tells him that the pilots are not afraid of the gun pointed at him and that if they want to live they will follow him. Thabo and Slick followed Tyler even though they weren’t sure they were going the right way.
While max chose to walk alone in another direction. Inside the wrecked plane it can be seen that blood leaking from Sue’s wound and the smell of it caught the attention of one Lion felt strange and Andrew prepared himself in case they were attacked by a wild animal.
Tyler and two of his companions decided to return to where they came from when they arrived at the crash site Tyler noticed the trail of blood and signs that a ferocious Lion had attacked the couple. He was surprised when Andrew attacked him blaming him for the death of his wife, Andrew was just pulled away when Thabo fired a flared gun.
After a while Andrew buried his wife he told Thabo that his wife was killed by a Lion he blamed himself for not defeating the wild animal but Thabo told him it was not his fault. Tyler told Thabo was sure that the Lion would return bu nightfall.
He suggests that they can hide in the detached cabin which is only big enough for three people when they talk to Andrew he asks Tyler how much he gets paid to smuggle illegal Rhino horn, again he blames the pilot because it did not carry the medical equipment.
The child he was operating on died, the death of his wife and why the plane they were on crashed due to the weight of the illegal items they were carrying. The pilot said that the heavy load he was carrying had nothing to do with it and that what happened was an accident, before it got dark the four tossed coin to find out who would be left outside the plane’s cabin.
Slick was the loser in the coin toss who told Thabo that he should be the one left because he was the tour guide paid by his father. Thabo didn’t agree so Slick offered him a million dollars he did not change his mind he just laughed because he would not exchange his life for any amount.
Andrew gave the cross necklace he was wearing to Slick but he said that the necklace of no use to him. When the sun goes down the gentle animals begin to hide and the wild animals come out to find prey.
Tyler told Slick that there was a lot of wood around so he could start lighting it and then he entered the cabin with Andrew and Thabo. Meanwhile Max continued to walk alone in the middle of the dark he heard the noise of Hyenas and growled a Lion that startled him before Slick can finally fall asleep he hears a gunshot it’s Max firing at the Lions in the dark.
The three heard the shot but Max soon ran out of bullets hoping Max killed the Lions the surroundings quieted down and Slick soon fell asleep. Tyler wakes up and pees he wakes up Slick and tells him not to let the fire die. They did not realize that a poisonous snake had entered the cabin.
Returning to the cabin, Tyler fell asleep again when Slick fell asleep the fire went out completely. The three Lions were nearby waiting for an opportunity. A few moments later, the thee woke up to the startling scream of Slick, who was being devoured by a wild animal. They have nothing to do but keep quiet.
Andrew felt guilty and tried to save Slick but the Lion met him so he backed away the two helped to prevent the Lion from entering. However, Andrew said there was a snake when Thabo screamed in fear it stabbed him in the leg immediately Tyler killed the snake he stepped on it.
Andrew took a rope and tied Thabo’s leg before the snake’s venom spread through his body and then he cut the stringer and removed the poison. After a while, the surroundings fell silent indicating that the Lions had felt. When Andrew came out of the cabin the next day he saw traces of blood left by the Lion who about to devour his companion.
Tyler asked Andrew for help to lift Thabo out but he was dumbfounded and as if he didn’t hear anything he sat on the dead tree and seemed to accept the hopelessness of surviving in that violent place. He tells Tyler that he and Thabo can continue without him. Tyler says that they need to work together to stay alive however Andrew is determined to stay there no face his destiny.
Before leaving, Tyler warned Andrew that the Lion would just kill him where he was if he stayed there and then he called Thabo so they could start walking. Before the two had gone far, Tyler saw a car approaching them he and Thabo were happy because finally someone was going to them Andrew was also revived by what he saw.
Unfortunately, when the armed natives got out of the car, they immediately attacked Andrew Thabo tried to talk to the natives in their language but he was also attacked by them. When the native leader saw rhino horns he asked Andrew where they were selling them.
Andrew couldn’t answer so the leader pointed the gun at him and Tyler said that he was the one who was smuggling the horns and was immediately silenced by one then the leader ordered two men to watch over Andrew and Tyler while he was gone.
While on his knees Andrew was told by a native that he could try to run away but after the count of 1- he would be shot Andrew didn’t move so he tried Tyler who said he didn’t want a fight. The native offered them something to drink but it turned out to be just a joke because he also drank before throwing the still water in front of them.
After a few hours, the two native guards fell asleep and Andrew’s weak body gave up. Tyler knew in the end they would be killed if he didn’t act. He slowly approached the sleeping guard to get the gun but he woke up just in time and fired at him but the gun missed.
This allowed him to fight back, when a guard woke up he tried to help his comrade but Andrew forced him a bullet hit a guard while the rifle was firing Andrew was able to put it in the neck of the enemy as a doctor he tried to save the enemies life but he also died Tyler apologized to Andrew for putting him in that position. He has to make everything right and help Andrew survive the disaster.
After a while, Andrew accepted Tyler’s help Tyler led Andrew on a walk. Soon Andrew could no longer cope with the fatigue and pain of the wound. Again Tyler insisted on leading Andrew and they continued to walk until when they reach the valley. They climbed it to get to safety he tried to help Andrew up but he let go and fell.
Luckily he only fell low however Tyler saw a group of Lions coming he quickly got down to help Andrew get up on the top of the rock when they reached the top of the rock Tyler saw smoke in the distance which means that there are people there but the lions are close to them and if they continue walking they will catch up and gobble them up.
Tyler doesn’t tell Andrew about their risky situation he assures Andrew that they will reach the village soon. He saw the Lions following the trail of blood he asked Andrew to rest he thought they were lucky and the Lions didn’t continue walking away when the wind blew towards the lions a Lion smelled something coming from them quickly a Lion brought the attention back to where the two were at the same time a stray scorpion on Tyler’s shoulder made the situation even more difficult.
While just a little movement it was possible to stab him so he stayed in his position when it came to Andrew’s face he patted it felling the small rock roll down which caught the wild animal’s attention and because Tyler knew that the lion at the bottom of the valley he took off his shirt and smeared himself with Andrew’s blood so that the smell would go to him then said goodbye to the doctor.
He said that the Lion was waiting below, Tyler begged Andrew to run away while he was going to chase after the Lion. Andrew didn’t like Tyler’s idea but he wanted to do something good. Tyler continued the shot and showed the lion then went down he and was chased by wild animals.
He sacrificed his own life so that Andrew could continue walking to the village. After a while Andrew can be seen walking in the intense heat of the sun so tired that he gives up and falls to the ground. Soon he heard that Hyenas was approaching he was afraid of being petted by the animal so he got up and took the branch of the tree he had to live to honor Tyler who gave his life for him.
This time he was ready to face the wild animals, he rushed at them but a miracle happened lightning suddenly struck between him and the Hyenas. The Hyenas people got scared and ran away then it started to rain. He lay down to quench his thirst and relax.
He fell asleep until the rain stopped when he opened his eyes he saw his wife approaching him. However the person in front of him was his friend from the tribe he went to and another man they led him to a safe place.
This is where the test that the doctor went through the plane accident, At the hand of the terrorist group, and the wild animals in the dessert will end. I hope you like it. Thank you very much.
