फिल्म की कहानी 1898 के अफ्रीका की है, जहाँ ब्रिटिश सरकार एक रेलवे ब्रिज बना रही थी। यहाँ पर दो शेर अचानक से इंसानों का शिकार करना शुरू कर देते हैं। यह आम शेर नहीं थे; स्थानीय लोग उन्हें और "The Darkness" (अंधेरा) नाम देते हैं।
Set in 1898, the film follows British military engineer (played by Val Kilmer), who is sent to Tsavo, Kenya, to build a railway bridge. The project grinds to a terrifying halt when two monstrous, man-eating lions begin systematically hunting the workers.
Shot by Vilmos Zsigmond, the sweeping vistas of the African savannah contrast beautifully with the claustrophobic terror of the night scenes.
The knowledge that these events actually took place adds an intense layer of dread that standard horror fiction cannot replicate.
Nicknamed "The Ghost" and "The Darkness" by the local workers, the lions hunt together at night, showing no fear of men or fire. Desperate to solve the crisis, the British officials hire a legendary American big-game hunter named Charles Remington (Michael Douglas). What follows is a terrifying game of cat and mouse where the hunters quickly become the hunted. The cinematography captures the vast, desolate beauty of the African landscape, while the tension keeps viewers on the edge of their seats until the final confrontation with these seemingly demonic beasts.
