Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison) is a defiant young city kid who finds himself on the run in the wild New Zealand bush with his cantankerous foster uncle (Sam Neill).
A national manhunt ensues, and the two are forced to put aside their differences and work together to survive.
Based on Barry Crump’s Wild Pork and Watercress, Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a masterclass in deadpan humour, eccentric charm, and genuine emotional warmth – showcasing screen icon Sam Neill at his very best.
