The Ghost and the Darkness

Tsavo, British East Africa, 1898. Roar of construction. Railroad man arrives to speed things up, but his crew soon turns up as lion lunch. A great white hunter appears, though two beasts now stalk the African night. Hopkins' widescreen killer-animal movie earns its pulp thrills.
