Summaries

Because of a severe drought in Kenya in 1984, ninety thousand starving baboons go on a murderous rampage, killing humans and animals alike.

There's a big drought in Africa. Food and water are scarce. 90,000 wild baboons suddenly start attacking humans and eating them in order to survive. Some people find themselves being hunted by the starving monkeys and must do whatever they can to stay alive.—Jonathon Dabell <[email protected]>

American animal expert and environmentalist Jack Ringtree, who works in Kenya, must team up with Chris Tucker, an English hunter who's legally exploiting the natural resources of Kenya, to save the inhabitants of a small town where they work, as well as the Western expatriates who live there, from a hoard of invading hungry killer baboons whose hunting grounds had been destroyed by a severe drought. Based on a real incident.
