Anthony Hopkins Cuba

Gooding Jr

===============================================================

The film examines the mind of anthropologist Ethan

Powell (Hopkins) who has been missing for a few years,

living in the jungle with gorillas.

He had been convicted of killing and injuring

several supposed Wilderness Park Rangers in Africa,

and is sent to prison. A bright young psychiatrist (Gooding)

tries to find out why he killed them, but becomes

entangled in a quest to learn the true history and nature of humankind.

Eventually it is revealed that during the course of his stay

with the gorillas, the animals accepted Powell

as part of their group and that he was attempting

to protect his gorilla family

when the rangers arrived and started shooting them.

He gets a hearing to reveal the truth, but an attack by a

vicious guard causes Powell to stop talking again.

At the end of the film, Powell escapes from prison, using a pen to

dig out the lock on a window and heads back to Africa.
