In the forests of the Russian Far East, an inexperienced and foolhardy poacher triggers an infamous series of tiger attacks on people. The authorities call upon the services of Yuri Trush, a specialist in tracking and eliminating tigers that have lost their fear of man. 'Conflict Tiger' takes Yuri's most notorious pursuit of a 'man-eating' tiger as the basis for a documentary thriller. The film combines dramatic reconstruction with extraordinary archive footage shot by Yuri himself as events unfolded. From the aftermath of this epic confrontation, the film emerges as a parable which challenges the cosy illusions of the traditional 'big cat' natural history by setting the animal's precarious situation against the pressing needs of human survival.
