Beast (2022) is a survival thriller directed by Baltasar Kormákur, starring Idris Elba as Dr. Nate Samuels, a widowed father who takes his daughters on a trip to a South African wildlife reserve. Their vacation turns into a nightmare when they are stalked by a bloodthirsty lion that is bent on attacking them. As the family is thrown into a life-or-death situation, Nate must rely on his instincts and knowledge to protect his daughters while trying to outsmart the relentless predator.

The film delves into themes of survival, family bonds, and the primal fear of being hunted. The lion becomes a symbol of nature’s unforgiving brutality, and Nate’s journey is as much about protecting his family as it is about confronting his own past and fears. With intense action and emotional moments, Beast keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, offering both a gripping story and a reflection on the connection between humans and the wild.
