Directed by Taika Waititi, Hunt for the Wilderpeople tells the story of defiant city kid Ricky who having been raised on a diet of hip-hop and foster care gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside.
He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec, and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush.
As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family.
