Synopsis

When Sanger Rainsford falls off his yacht on his way to the Amazon forest for a hunting expedition, he washes up on a strange Caribbean island only to find that more danger lies ahead. When the owner of a palatial chateau and his henchman tell Rainsford that they are no longer interested in hunting animals and that men are the true test of a hunter, Rainsford goes from being the hunter to the hunted as he struggles to survive in a game of cat and mouse. Inspired by the big-game hunting safaris that were quite popular among the wealthy class during the 1920s, “The Most Dangerous Game” combines a dangerous plight and a battle of wills between two very experienced hunters with two very different motivations.
