The Hunter

"The Hunter" is a 2011 Australian drama-thriller film that tells the story of a mercenary, Martin David, who is sent by a biotech company to Tasmania to track down the last Tasmanian tiger, a supposedly extinct marsupial. The company's real motive, however, is to obtain the tiger's DNA, which they believe contains a powerful venom that can be used as a weapon. Martin lodges with a family, the Armstrongs, and befriends the children, Katie and Jamie, while he searches for the tiger. As he delves deeper into the wilderness, Martin discovers that the tiger is not the only thing he needs to worry about: a rival operative sent by Red Leaf, and a longstanding conflict between loggers and environmentalists in the area. The movie explores themes of survival and morality as Martin grapples with his mission and the consequences of his actions. "The Hunter" stars Willem Dafoe in a critically acclaimed performance and features stunning visuals of the Tasmanian wilderness.
