Raised in foster care and labeled a troublesome kid, young Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison) finds himself sent to a remote New Zealand farm to live with the gruff and reluctant Uncle Hec (Sam Neill) and his warm-hearted Aunt Bella (Rima Te Wiata). When a sudden tragedy threatens to tear this unlikely new family apart, Ricky and Hec find themselves on the run in the vast, untamed wilderness, sparking a nationwide manhunt that hilariously dubs them outlaws. Directed by Taika Waititi, this heartfelt comedy blends deadpan humor with genuine adventure as the mismatched pair must navigate dense forests, fend off wild boars, and evade the relentless pursuit of a determined social worker (Rachel House). With a tone that is both absurdly funny and surprisingly touching, Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a charming story of an unbreakable bond forged in the most unlikely of circumstances, celebrating the wild beauty of both the New Zealand bush and the human spirit.
