The Ghost and the Darkness Summary Only The Most Incredible Parts Of The Story Are True. Michael Douglas And Val Kilmer Star In This Tense, Terrific And True Adventure Set In 1896 East Africa. There, Two Lions On Man-eating Rampage Have Shut Down The Construction Of A Railway. The Beasts Hunt Together, Showing No Fear Of Man Or Fire. What's More, They're Killing For Sport Rather Than For Food-and They Have An Almost Supernatural Knack For Knowing What Traps Await Them. Big-game Hunter Remington (douglas) And Construction Engineer Patterson (kilmer) Set Out To Stop These Unstoppable Monsters. But, In This Astonishing Tale Of Man Against Beast, The Hunters Become The Hunted.

Val Kilmer stars as Lt. Col. John Patterson, a 19th-century Irish engineer drafted by Britain's railroad bosses to build a trestle bridge over an African river, thus expanding the empire a tiny bit more. In Tsavo, Patterson is instantly hailed for killing a man-eating lion that had been making life hell for native workers. But morale sinks when a pair of unstoppable big cats devour more men and destroy the project. Along comes an Ahab-like, expatriate American hunter (Michael Douglas) to help Patterson face the almost preternatural powers of the two killers. The script by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) is based on fact, though the film owes more to Spielberg (specifically to Jaws) than history. There are also suggestive echoes of Kipling and Conrad in the material and characters, and there are hints of emotional complexity and psychological nuance that make one wish this could have been a great film instead of a merely fun one. --Tom Keogh
