Summary: 4 Stars
Xixo, the bushman runs for two days to rescue his two children and with tears flowing down his eyes, he reunites with his two children. The two children's curiosity finds them on top of the water wagon being pulled by a ivory pouches truck. Xixo, reads the tracks, interprets that his children are captives of the truck, and begins his run. Xixo, will cross paths with Anne, a Cuban, a African militant, a delirious Stephen, and briefly be detained by the two poachers.
Jack convinces Dr. Ann Taylor to take a short air tour of the Kalahari in a rotary powered glider; Jack does not know that a violent storm is forming, but does comment that the storm does not look good. Jack lands the plane in the reserve and Dr. Stephen Marshall takes possession of the plane and Dr Ann Taylor remains his passenger. A storm does not cause the crash landing, instead, it is the fact Stephen runs out of fuel. After which he must land in the tops of a prehistoric looking tree. Marshall disassembles the plane, lowers the parts, and reassembles the plane on the ground. Ann discovers that Rhinos have the strange behavior of stomping out fire when they see it. After spotting Hyenas, Ann becomes scared but Stephen tells her, "if you ignore them, they will ignore you." And additionally explains that hyenas are scared of animals that are taller than them and when sleeping humans are not a threat and the hyenas will take a chunk out of them while they sleep. So Stephen sleeps first and Ann second. Ann will distract a Male guardian ostrich and Stephen will steal an ostrich egg for food, but not before the Ostrich engages him in a chase, but fortunately for Stephan a monkey will move into the nest and distract the Ostrich.
The director likes the comedy where, at least three times, Ann has her dress above her head exposing herself. Unfortunate, considering these indiscretions appease a carnal appetite but threaten to ruin a perfect movie. Ann runs up trees on almost every sound; and Ann must outsmart a group of Gorillas for a drink of water.
After stepping on a badger-like creature, the animal becomes entrenched on revenge seeking to bite the boot that step on him; Marshall gives up his boot and the animal gnaws voraciously on the leather bindings; Marshall accidentally steps on the animal again and the animal bites one of the tires of the glider. Improvising a strange solution, Marshall stomps out the bottom portion of the passenger side of the glider and lifts the glider while managing too run with it while Ann navigates takeoff; Stephen falls out of the glider and Ann, who lacks piloting skills flies away; eventually Ann stops the engine, ejects the emergency parachute, and lands deep in the Kalahari.
Stephen start to walk in the direction Ann departed but realizes he needs his boot too cross the desert; Stephen tricks the badger like animal to release its grip on the boot for some ostrich egg; Stephen is stung by a black scorpion; Stephen and the badger like animal begin walking across the desert. Anne is capture first by the Cuban, whom it taken captive by the African National, whom both are brought under control by Anne. Stephen is rescue by Xixo, after collapsing in the desert; Xixo buries Stephen up to his neck in sand; Xixo, Ann, the Cuban, and the African National join. Xixo finds the truck but no children, who have managed to get off the truck at different times; the children are hundreds of miles away from home. Xixo will find the truck and he will ask the poacher, if they have seen his children; the poacher will not understand his language; the poachers want no witnesses of their illegal ivory escapades; the Two poacher will capture Xixo and bind him with cords.
Stephen, Ann, the Cuban, and African national will be captured by the two poachers along with Xixo. The first poacher will shoot himself in the foot; the group tied up two together will attempt an escape from the first poacher; the second poacher will see the escape attempt and return from the hill he was at where he was attempting radio contact with headquarters; the second poacher will start a fire; Xixo will defeat the fire trap initiated by the second poacher with a burnout; Stephen will trick the second poacher and gain control. Xixo will take his leave of Stephen and Ann in search for his children. Stephen will launch the glider, return Anne back to civilization, and kiss Anne.

Summary: 3 Stars
I can imagine a lot of people may not make it past the first ten minutes of this movie. It views like a 1970s nature movie crossed with a slapstick comedy that Harold Lloyd or Buster Keaton wouldn't look out of place in. But somehow if you can stick with it and the corniness of the effects (lots of strings, speeded up footage and fake animals) you may get hooked enough to want to find out what happen. Ultimately it has some appeal to the inner child of adults if they can still locate theirs - I'm sure that young children will delight in it and be all the better for it. Certainly I think it would be better for them than Batman or some "comic" movie.Movie Review: Good Movie
