In Desert & Wilderness

Before guiding X-Men: Wolverine to blockbuster glory, and steering Tsotsi to award-winning success, Gavin Hood directed this charming story based on a novel by Poland's premier writer, Henryk Sienkiewicz. While traveling with their parents who are engineers on the Suez Canal, two youngsters are kidnapped and taken into the heart of the African desert. They manage to escape the clutches of their kidnappers, along with two African children, to embark on the long journey home. Lost deep inside the continent, the kids experience a perilous adventure fraught with excitement and danger as they find their way back to civilization. Along the way, they learn the meaning of friendship and family.
