The Ghost and the Darkness

In late 19th century Africa, Sir Robert Beaumont is overseeing the construction of a railroad but faces delays. To get the project back on track, he hires experienced engineer John Henry Patterson. Initially, progress is steady until the team finds the body of the foreman, brutally killed and mutilated, apparently by a lion. As more workers fall victim to similar attacks, Patterson seeks help from Charles Remington, a well-known hunter, who soon realizes that these lions are unusually aggressive and dangerous, presenting a serious threat to the entire operation.
