Lee Cahill (Charlton Heston), the fairly lean and stalwart owner of a Kenyan safari camp is a former hunter, separated from his wife for years. His son, Rick (John Savage), has returned from a stint with the Green Berets in Viet Nam to help the Kenyan government track down and stop increasingly audacious and violent poachers who have been killing protected species of wildlife in Central Africa, and bring them in dead or alive. As if that wasn’t hard enough, he has to deal with his estranged father, now a safari guide, and with the woman they both love.
