The Ghost and the Darkness

The Ghost and the Darkness - in which Val Kilmer travels to colonial Africa as an engineer, but he cannot build his bridge because his village of workers keeps getting attacked by man-eating lions. Its basically Land-Jaws. He shoots one of these lions at first, but there are three of them, so two survive. His spunky friends cheer him on, but all the workers want to leave once the lions start invading camp and pulling guys out of their tents. Michael Douglass eventually shows up with a Remington and a bunch of natives. Together, the men track the lions and find their scary cave full of bones and skulls. After all the workers have fled in fear, Kilmer and Remington camp out in trees and finally kill the final lion. Then hollow bones Emily shows up with the baby, and the bridge of Tsavo eventually gets built.
