 Lions 3D: Roar of the Kalahari, a compelling giant-screen 3D film by Tim Liversedge for National Geographic, also opens at the Entergy IMAX® Theatreon Friday, September 2. Filmed entirely in the wild and made possible in part by the support of the Republic of Botswana, Lions 3D carries the audience deep into the stark expanse of Botswana's Kalahari Desert where the life-and-death struggle between a real lion king and a fierce, young contender determined to oust him from his throne unfolds. Viewers will be shaken in their seats by one of nature's loudest sounds - the roars of duelling lions – delivered by one of the most powerful cinema sound systems in the world.
The drama poignantly weaves together the day-to-day life of lions with the suspense of rivalry in an epic story of power and dominance, success and failure. Here, one of the largest lions to walk the arid lands of the Kalahari – a 10-foot giant – reigns with his lionesses and cubs. A nomad comes to claim the territory for his own, gradually encroaching until an ultimate battle between the two determines the fate of all.
