The movie begins in South Africa. A private plane flies towards its destination, passing by several
groups of wild animals along the way. A man by the name of Mike is standing by
a safari vehicle as it watches the aircraft land. Mike opens the door to the aircraft
to welcome the newcomers. Amy Newman goes out first,
experiencing airsickness as she goes to vomit by the side of the plane.
Her husband, Tom Newman, a hydro-electrical engineer, assists his wife. Tom’s two kids,
Jessica and David, exit the aircraft. Tom and his family arrive in South Africa
to help build a dam. Their family is driven to their destination.
They take breaks every now and then to get a view of the wild animals up close and personal. David
records the views from his camera as they drive. Jessica isn't getting along with her stepmother,
Amy, because she is not happy about her parents divorce.
At the lodge, Jessica is uneasy at watching her father and stepmother being sweet in public.
That evening while having dinner, Tom lets David try some warthog meat. The father
offers it to Jessica who turns it down because she’s a vegetarian. The young girl tells them
that she doesn’t eat any characters from the movie Lion King, especially Pumba.
Amy giggles thinking that Jessica was joking. But Jessica gets angry and walks out. Tom follows his
daughter and talks to her. Jessica cries to her father, wanting badly to go home.
Later, Amy tells Tom that she thinks going on the trip is a mistake, but Tom gives her reassurance
and promises that it’ll be better. The next morning, Amy, Jessica and
her brother David go on a game drive with Brian, a ranger, while Tom goes to the dam.
David volunteers to sit in front, while Jessica and Amy sit next to each other at the back.
Brian decides to drive off the road, telling them that they’ll be able to see more animals this way.
Not long after, David asks the ranger to stop the jeep because he has to defecate.
Amy thinks it’s not a good idea, but Brian insists and tells them it’ll be okay. He grabs his rifle
and escorts David to a nearby tree. They encounter two lionesses,
backed by a lion behind them. Jessica watches in fear, while Amy decides to
move to the driver’s seat to drive the vehicle. She realizes that the keys aren’t in the ignition,
unable to do anything else. Jessica cries for her little brother. Amy decides to distract
the lion by getting out of the vehicle. One lioness attacks, and David runs back
to the car barely making it. Brian decides to do his last effort to save the others.
The two kids watch as Brian gets eaten alive right in front of them.
When Amy tries to look out the window, the lioness pounces and tries to attack them,
but to no avail. Then Brian’s body is dragged away from the vehicle, leaving them stranded.
Amy tries to check for a signal on her phone, but with no luck. Jessica tries to put the
blame on Amy for not being prepared and calls her stupid just like what her mother said.
The keys lost, Amy, Jessica, and David are trapped in the car and stalked by the lions.
The lion goes on top of the vehicle, with its massive weight, it slowly breaks the windshield.
Having no luck at getting its prey, the lion gets down from the vehicle, making a quick
eye contact with Jessica before it leaves. Sometime later, the three of them are still
stuck inside the vehicle, feeling the heat of the Safari weather. Jessica believes they
need to get Brian’s rifle, but Amy is firm that no one is allowed to leave the car.
David watches the lions waiting by the trees and notices that they aren’t leaving.
Meanwhile, Tom goes back to the lodge and begins looking for his family.
He is informed of his family's disappearance. Tom insists on going out to look for his family,
but the park rangers believe that it’s best to wait until the next day.
At the suggestion of the park ranger, they attempt to contact Crawford, a professional hunter and
guide, who refuses to help him, as he is a big five hunt guide, not a leader of search parties.
That evening, Amy convinces David to get some sleep. The little boy
asks if the lights can be turned on, but Amy suggests not to waste the batteries.
Thinking that maybe the lions are gone, Jessica goes to turn on the light,
and they all get startled as the car’s light shines brightly at the lion.
Later, Tom looks out the window, worried about his family as a storm brings about heavy rains.
Subsequently, David wakes up from thirst and decides to open the car door to take a
handful of rainwater to quench his thirst. Jessica and Amy follow and drink as well.
Unaware that a lion is right by the vehicle, ready to pounce at them. All of a sudden,
lightning strikes at the tree in front of them, scaring the three of them and the predator away.
The next day, David wakes up and gets dazzled by the reflection of something shiny just
outside the vehicle. He spots Brian's keys and wakes his stepmom and sister.
Jessica uses the camera to zoom in on the glistening item and confirms that they definitely
are the keys. The young woman volunteers to retrieve them, but Amy says otherwise.
The woman slowly goes out of the vehicle and looks around before
slowly making her way to where the keys are. The two kids realize that a lioness is ready to
attack Amy and it runs towards her. The siblings shout for her name. Amy manages to get the keys
and barely makes it back to the vehicle. In a sudden jolt of fear,
Amy drives the vehicle to get away from the predator. She drives the wrong way,
crashing into several tree branches. Amy wrecks the truck as she continues to speed up.
Amy tries to get the car to turn on, but to no avail. Jessica suggests they leave
the car and on foot. But Amy believes that it’s safer to be inside the car,
and that they will be found eventually. She and Jessica get into an argument,
fighting over what to do next. The family is unaware that the pack of
lions are just around them, waiting and watching. Meanwhile, after not being able to accompany the
rangers in the air, Tom goes to see Crawford. He tries to convince the hunter to help him,
but gets thrown out of Crawford’s home. He manages to hire his services at Crawford's own price.
Crawford and Tom look for signs of them while checking in on the rangers’ trail periodically,
but the rain the previous night has washed away any tracks.
Back in the car, David is getting more dehydrated. Amy takes her shirt off
and uses it to soak what’s left of the rainwater from last night.
They then hear the sound of a helicopter nearby. When the rangers fly by without noticing them,
Jessica gets out and tries to draw their attention.
Amy gets out to follow her. Jessica fails to get the rangers’ attention
and she sits on the ground in disbelief. Amy goes to Jessica and forces her to get
back in the vehicle, unaware of the lioness behind them. They hear her roar and the predator is ready
to pounce at them. But the lioness is shot and killed by two native hunters.
Amy and Jessica run back to the car. The three of them watch as the hunters disembowel the lioness.
Amy and Jessica decide to speak with the native hunters
and they manage to sign well enough to convince the hunters that they need water. One of the
hunters leads Jessica to a watering hole nearby. Jessica runs to scoop handfuls of water to drink
to hydrate herself, while the hunter washes off the blood from his machete.
She tries to ask help from the hunter if there is anything they can use to contain the water,
and the hunter goes to grab a dried calabash fruit for Jessica to use.
They hear a gunshot and rush back. The hunter notices that his companion
is nowhere to be found. Jessica looks at the vehicle, but couldn’t find Amy nor David.
Jessica slowly walks towards the car, and Amy jolts up, startling Jessica, dropping
one of the containers. She goes back to the vehicle and provides Amy and David with water.
Meanwhile, the hunter tries to look for his companion who had been attacked
and killed by the remaining pride members. Despite Jessica’s efforts to call him back,
the hunter goes looking for his friend. Subsequently, Tom and Crawford locate lion dung,
which indicates that it had eaten and was far away, before setting up camp.
After dark, Tom and Crawford discuss lions at the fire.
While back in the car, Amy and Jessica discuss how she met Tom, forming a bond between them.
They later get startled by the hunter coming back. They let him inside the vehicle,
but the hunter is killed when the lion smashes through the window and drags him out. The three
of them watch in horror. Amy quickly tells the two kids to hide behind the backseat.
The next day, David takes a peek outside to find hyenas devouring what’s left of the human victims.
Later, the three of them resolve to survive with what they have and list what that is.
Meanwhile, Crawford and Tom find the bones of one of the pride's previous victims.
Their trail goes cold and he says they'll pitch and start west tomorrow,
with Tom disagreeing. Amy gets out of the car,
having heard Crawford's car, and begins to call out. Crawford and Tom run to the top of the hill.
Crawford senses something is wrong, but Tom rushes down ahead of him,
and is confronted by the last lioness. Before the predator can kill him,
Crawford shoots the lioness through the heart. Tom makes it to the car, but on his way up,
Crawford is attacked and killed by the lion. Tom crawls under the car and Amy breaks open
the gas tank, telling her family to run when she says so. Amy draws the lion's attention,
and the rest of them dash for a tree as it jumps into the car.
Amy lights a cloth fuse with her lighter and causes the truck to explode
and kill the lion. Tom believes Amy is dead as looks around the burning vehicle.
The movie ends when Amy appears beside the fire, and after Jessica finally acknowledges Amy
as her mother. They all head back to Crawford's car to return to the lodge.
