Based on a true story, THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS takes place in Africa during the late 1890s and concerns two ferocious lions who killed 130 railroad construction workers in only two months.
A pair of courageous men, no-nonsense engineer John Patterson (Val Kilmer) and rugged hunter Charles Remington (Michael Douglas), set out to shoot the creatures, known as the Ghost and the Darkness.
Making their task even harder is the two animals un-lionlike behavior--they kill in tandem, attack in the daylight, and show no fear of anything.

 Review: The Ghost and the Darkness
With The Ghost and the Darkness, director Stephen Hopkins tries unsuccessfully to generate the same level of tension.
The Ghost and the Darkness takes place during the waning years of the nineteenth century, when England, France, and Germany were racing to complete the first cross-Africa railroad to facilitate the ivory trade.
Of course, The Ghost and the Darkness is only interested in this material as background, so no attempt is made to examine the pressures and difficulties of railroad construction.

 Metroactive Movies | The Ghost and the Darkness
No romantic subplot burdens the action--a sure sign of integrity--and it benefits from a brisk finale, in which Patterson, rifle gone, is treed by one of the lions (one of those absolutely true moments that doesn't happen in nature).
If I liked The Ghost and the Darkness, it may be because I saw it as a step in the right direction, as an attempt to search through history for stories on which to base movies that don't need that perjuring promise that everything you're going to see is true.
The Ghost and the Darkness (R; 105 min.), directed by Stephen Hopkins, written by William Goldman, photographed by Vilmos Zsigmond and starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer.
