Description
Savages
When a group of mining executives bring their wives to the South Pacific paradise of Paui for a vacation, they have no intention of relaxing. Instead, they're determined to strike a swift deal for mining rights after discovering rare minerals on the island. However, their pleasure trip takes a drastic turn when their luxury yacht breaks down and they're forced to complete the journey on foot. As they near the hotel, the women's nightmare becomes all too real. Panic-stricken, they tear back into the jungle, where they learn survival tricks from the ship's captain. The once-shy Annie emerges as leader of the group, joined by Silvana, Patty, Carey, and Suzy - each with their own unique struggles and fears. As misfortune continues to rain down on them, opportunity also presents itself in unexpected ways. With a gritty determination that belies their pampered pasts, the castaways battle jungle, cannibalistic natives, and their own frightening desires. But one man refuses to give up hope - driven by his love for one of the women, he starts a search for those who have vanished.
