Two tigers–captured and separated by Aidan McRory (Guy Pearce) while still cubs–are raised in very different worlds. Aidan raises one cub and names it Kumal, but the tiger is later sold to a circus. Raul (Freddie Highmore) captures Kumal's brother, names him Sangha, and raises him as a pet–until Sangha proves to be too much for Raul, and he gives Sangha to the prince (Oanh Nguyen) who trains it to fight. Later, the tigers are reunited in an arena where it is expected they will fight to the death. But, they recognize each other, and tables are turned when they plan their escape.
