An idyllic wildlife cruise disintegrates into terror when a party of tourists are stalked by a massive man-eating crocodile. Pete McKell, a cynical American travel writer, joins a disparate group of holiday-makers on a river cruise through the waters of Kakadu National Park. Initially Pete clashes with their tour captain, Kate, a feisty young woman who assumes he is just another 'city-slicker' in search of a quick thrill. After an uneventful day cruising the river, Kate is reluctantly persuaded to steer their boat into unexplored territory. They discover a secluded lake but terror strikes when their craft receives a powerful blow from beneath the murky depths and begins to sink. With little choice, she beaches the vessel on the closest dry land -a tiny mud island. With a rising tide and only half an hour of daylight left, fear grips the group as they realize they are trapped in the lair of a 'rogue' crocodile, governed only by its need to hunt and kill. Begrudgingly, Pete and Kate join forces to keep hysteria at bay and in the process start to see beyond their initial impressions. Their first attempt to escape fails, but then Pete has an idea - they must trap the crocodile to enable the group to flee to the other side of the island whilst Kate swims for help. Pete volunteers to stand guard, but without warning, the beast breaks free and targets Kate who fails to resurface. As darkness descends and the muddy waters rise, a terrifying struggle ensues with only one probable outcome death.

• The croc's lair was constructed and shot in a warehouse in Maidstone (Melbourne Victoria Australia) which was the same site for much of internal barn shots in Charlottes Web (2006). With story set in the rugged Northern Territory and much of the shooting done there also many would be surprised to learn that many of the "island" shots were done in a man made lake in country Victoria. The art department and the greens department being responsible for making the rocks and trees resemble those in the Territory.

Pete McKell: Hot as hell out there, huh?

Pete McKell: [swatting away flies] Jesus, anyone complain about the flies yet?
Kate Ryan: That was your one shot.
Pete McKell: That wasn't a complaint. That was a question.

Neil: What the fuck you gawkin' at at, four eyes?
Pete McKell: I don't know. I got the brochure, but it didn't say anything about assholes.

Pete McKell: I just saw a man get eaten by a fucking crocodile. This is not what I do, alright. You know what I do? I write stupid articles about hotels, restaurants, and resorts. Not about the Australian Outback. And by the way, I fucking hate animals, especially ones that can kill you!
[pause]
Pete McKell: [muttering to himself] Speaking of which, I'm going to kill my fucking editor when I get home.

Kate Ryan: I can't find the flares.
Pete McKell: [looking into the water] Would they be in a giant yellow box with the word "flares" written on the side of it?

Neil: You're not as stupid as you look.
Pete McKell: Yeah, you're not either.

Pete McKell: The tide is moving in quick and people are falling apart. We've got to do something. Now.

Kate Ryan: 28 years old, and I can tie a knot. I've never been anywhere.
Pete McKell: Yeah, well, traveling's overrated. Trust me.

Russell: Are you sure you want to be the last one across?
Pete McKell: No, not really.

Kate Ryan: What did you think of the tour?
Pete McKell: I was thinking I'm probably going to be spending more time at home.
Kate Ryan: Thanks.
