Set in nineteenth-century Africa's colonial periods, Wilde portrays an unnamed safari guide whose group encounters and subsequently insults a local tribe. Following the execution of the other party members, Wilde alone is the last to be spared and is given a head start to elude his pursuers as game to be hunted for retributive satisfaction, unless and until he can attain safety.

The popular concept of the human hunt in the not often seen setting of the African savannah. It’s clear that Cornel Wilde made the film almost by himself, but given how brisk and smart the result is, he can’t be blamed for his creative narcissism. The film hits the spot mainly thanks to its strong protagonists, the simple plot and the emphasis on the physical connection to the surrounding dangerous landscape. The pace wavers a little in the last act, but the narration delivers likeable human insight and impresses with a final gesture that highlights the natural respect and the order of the cruel but just traditions of the natives. 75%
