Alone on a life raft in the Pacific, Pi Patel, a young Indian zookeeper's son, must share his fragile craft with a 450-pound Bengal tiger. As they drift, hunger and thirst threaten, and the great cat's savage nature looms. Pi must find a way to tame the beast and keep them both alive, or be lost to the vast, indifferent ocean forever.
