The Ghost and the Darkness

Sir Robert Beaumont (Tom Wilkinson) is behind schedule on a railroad in Africa, and enlisting noted engineer John Henry Patterson (Val Kilmer) to right the ship, he expects results. Everything seems great until the crew discovers the mutilated corpse of the project's foreman, seemingly killed by a lion. After several more attacks, Patterson calls in famed hunter Charles Remington (Michael Douglas), who has finally met his match in the bloodthirsty lions.
