During the construction of a railroad across Africa in the late 1800s, engineer John Henry Patterson faces an unexpected crisis when workers begin falling victim to lion attacks.

What unfolds is a dangerous battle of wits between humans and two exceptionally fierce lions that seem determined to stop the railroad's progress.
