In the quirky comedy, insecure railway chef Sonny Frank (Leon Schuster), and a 10-year-old rural boy, Fearless (Themba Ntuli), set out to kidnap the ambassador of a South-East Asian country (David Dennis) in an attempt to stop rhino slaughtering.
They are joined on this mission by two four-legged friends, Reini, a baby rhino whose mother was killed by poachers, and Fearless’ big and faithful black dog called Dog.
When things go terribly wrong, they have no choice but to take on a platoon of merciless poachers, who are led by the terrifying ranger turned poacher, Dolf (Kenneth Nkosi), with whom Sonny has a past.
The motion picture was created by a dynamic team of experts, with acclaimed filmmaker Gray, who is known for his work on Jock of the Bushveld, Sweet and Short, There’s a Zulu On My Stoep as a director, and André Scholtz and Menzi Thabede as producers.
