Hatari!
Hatari! (pronounced [hɑtɑri], Swahili for "Danger!") is a 1962 American adventure romantic comedy film starring John Wayne as the leader of a group of professional game catchers in Africa. Directed by Howard Hawks, it was shot in Technicolor and filmed on location in northern Tanganyika (in what is now Tanzania). The film includes dramatic wildlife chases and the scenic backdrop of Mount Meru, a dormant volcano.
At the 35th Academy Awards, Russell Harlan was nominated for Best Color Cinematography for his work on Hatari!, but the award went to Freddie Young for his work on Lawrence of Arabia.
In Tanganyika, the Momella Game Company captures animals for zoos and circuses using off-road vehicles, lassos, and cages. The crew consists of French owner Brandy de la Court, Irish-American Sean Mercer, who heads the capture expeditions; retired German race car driver Kurt Müller; Mexican bullfighter Luis Francisco García López; Native American sharpshooter Little Wolf (aka "The Indian"); zoophobic former NYC cabbie "Pockets"; and several native Tanganyikans. During the captures, Kurt and the Indian drive a herding jeep to force animals toward a larger capture truck driven by Pockets.
An aggressive rhino gores the Indian's leg during a pursuit, and the crew transports him to the Arusha hospital. French marksman Charles "Chips" Maurey approaches them, wanting the Indian's job. Kurt, offended, punches him. Realizing he is the only one present with The Indian's rare blood type, Chips agrees to undergo a transfusion to save The Indian, and Sean offers Chips a job.
Returning to their compound, the crew finds Italian photographer Anna Maria "Dallas" D'Alessandro has arrived. Everyone was expecting a male photographer, but, as Dallas was sent by Momella's biggest client (the Basel zoo), Sean reluctantly allows her to accompany the crew on a giraffe capture. Despite many rookie mishaps, Dallas enjoys herself, and everyone except Sean votes to let her stay.
The next day, Chips arrives and has a sharpshooting contest with Kurt before returning him the favor with a punch; afterward, the two become friends. Dallas and Sean gradually become mutually attracted, though Sean resists, as his first fiancée abandoned him. Meanwhile, Kurt and Chips pursue Brandy, and Pockets reveals to Dallas he secretly has feelings for Brandy, too. The Indian is released from the hospital, but is shaken by his experience and tries to talk Sean out of catching any more rhinos. Sean refuses, but agrees to at least wait until the end of the season after filling all the other orders.
The crew visits a village where a rogue female elephant has just been killed by a game warden. Dallas immediately adopts the elephant's orphaned calf, despite Sean's protests. Chaos ensues when the crew obtains goats to get milk for the calf. Later that night, Dallas apologizes to Sean, and coerces him into a kiss.
A second orphaned elephant calf suddenly shows up at the compound. A local group of Waarusha people, impressed by how the elephants follow Dallas, adopt her into their tribe and name her "Mama Tembo" ("Mother of Elephants"). A few days later, a third elephant orphan mysteriously appears, infuriating Sean.
