Fiendish, blood-thirsty Count Zaroff

(Leslie Banks) hunts Man instead of animals on his secluded island. When world-renowned big geme hunter Robert Rainsford (Joel McCrea) is washed ashore after a shipwreck and refuses the Count's invitation to join in the hunt, he becomes the hunted. If the Count cannot track down Rainsford between midnight and sunrise, he is free. If caught, his head ends up on the Count's well of trophies. Fay Wray is the Count's reluctant prize maiden and becomes part of the geme when Rainsford takes her with him. Trip wires, diversions, decoys and other traps fill the foggy night, leading to hte final chase by ferocious dogs.
This definitive film version of the classic Robert Connell short story is co-directed by Ernest Schoedsack, who also directed King Kong. Wray is sultry and alluring as Eve, while Banks gives an icy performance as the evil Count. Made by RKO at the same time as King Kong and sharing much of the same eerie island sets and cast (including Wray as leading lady, Robert Armstrong and music by Max Steiner), The Most Dangerous Game is breathless in pace and timeless in its nightmarish tone!

Graf Zaroff lebt abgeschieden auf seiner Privatinsel. Seine grösste Leidenschaft ist die Jagd und seine bevorzugte Beute ist der Mensch. Diese Erfahrung muss auch der Reiseschriftsteller und Grosswildjäger Bob Rainsford machen. Er ist der einzige Überlebende des Schiffs, das vor der Insel Zaroffs auf ein Riff gelaufen ist. Graf Zaroff empfängt den Schiffbrüchigen freundlich und stellt ihn zwei weiteren Gästen vor. Im Verlauf des Abends wird Rainsford und den beiden anderen klar, dass sie die nächsten Opfer Zaroffs werden sollen. Er lässt ihnen allerdings eine Chance: Überleben sie die Nacht, sind sie frei. Eine grausame Jagd beginnt.
