NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS MOVIE. 70 MEMBERS OF THE CAST AND CREW WERE.
A naturalist living with big cats in East Africa expects a visit by his family of four from Chicago. A mix-up leaves him searching for his family, who have been left in the clutches of wild lions.
Good lord, I just read the Wikipedia article, that is absolutely insane. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roar_(film)#Injuries_and_set_damages
However it does also say that three lions were killed, so not sure if the advertising is so accurate
There’s no truth in advertising it seems. ;)
