在这部哈泰利动作/冒险/剧情片中,西部片巨匠霍华德·霍克斯Howard Hawks导演的非洲冒险片。片中有不少精彩的野生动物生态镜头，捕兽场面也拍得相当热闹刺激，加上在阳刚气息中穿插的一些幽默笑料和浪漫爱情，使本片维持了一定的娱乐性。在环保意识已普遍抬头的今天，象这类题材的影片已很难看到了。
由Sean Mercer 领导的一班猎兽团﹐专门在非洲捕捉野生动物﹐售给世界各地动物园﹐不过他们从不使用刀枪﹐却使用绳索及围困的方法﹐为免伤害到牠们。某天当他们捕捉一头犀牛的时候﹐其中一位名为Indian 的队员受伤了﹐需要一种特别的血型来输血﹐众人担心不已﹐幸好Chips在﹐不过这名陌生人要求在猎兽团中得到一份工作。另一方面﹐这晚突然来了一位女士﹐名为Anna Maria﹐她是买家派来的一位摄影师﹐要求在捕猎时拍摄过程﹐Sean大吃一惊﹐因为他一直以为那人是一位男生﹐于是这个由一位少女 Brandy继承父业经营﹑本来很有默契﹑犹如一家人的工作团队﹐一下子产生了变化。

我只想问一句，妹子你抽的什么牌子的烟？。
