The Most Dangerous Game 

‘The world is made up of two classes: the hunters and the hunted.’

Zachariah, a big game hunter who was on a boat full of other big-game hunters, one whose name is Whitney, must fight for his life while being hunted for sport.

After washing ashore on an Island, he realizes that General Zaroff, the island’s owner, hunts humans for sport, having grown bored of hunting animals.

Zaroff decides to hunt Zachariah, hoping that Zachariah’s experience as a hunter will make him more challenging prey.

Zachariah hides in the woods, where he sets several traps to outsmart Zaroff, all of which fail.

Desperate, Zachariah fakes his own death and sneaks into Zaroff’s quarters.

The two men duel, and Rainsford emerges victorious.
