Fierce Creatures

In the bustling heart of London, a once‑sleepy zoological park becomes the unlikely stage for a high‑stakes clash of ambition and absurdity. When the flamboyant billionaire Rod McCain acquires the zoo, his eye for profit turns every enclosure into a potential cash‑cow, and the whole institution teeters between charming wildlife haven and corporate showcase. The atmosphere crackles with a quirky, out‑of‑the‑ordinary energy, as the animals watch their world being reshaped by the whims of a man who sees them more as market assets than sentient residents.

At the centre of this transformation sits the recently appointed director, Rollo Lee, a former Hong Kong police officer whose pragmatic, no‑nonsense approach collides with McCain’s extravagance. Tasked with turning the zoo into a “fierce creatures” attraction, Rollo proposes a bold re‑imagining that highlights the park’s more dangerous inhabitants, sparking both excitement and consternation among the staff. New to the mix is Willa Weston, a sharp‑witted businesswoman sent to devise a scalable model for the zoo’s future, whose fresh perspective clashes and mingles with Rollo’s hard‑edge practicality. Adding another layer, Vincent, McCain’s charismatic son, flits between boardroom machinations and personal entanglements, while the eccentric animal keeper Bugsy—an aficionado of spiders and insects—quietly champions the gentler side of the collection.

The film balances its corporate satire with a warm, often mischievous tone, letting humor coexist with the more tender moments that blossom amid the chaos. As the “fierce creatures” concept takes hold, unexpected alliances form, old friendships are tested, and subtle romantic sparks flicker between the park’s unlikely protagonists. Beneath the playful surface, a sense of mystery lingers—rumors of hidden motives and whispered secrets hint at a darker current flowing through the zoo’s corridors, promising that the battle for its soul may have consequences far beyond the balance sheet.
