Rudyard Kipling's exciting tale of adventure and intrigue in colonial India is brilliantly brought to the screen. Peter O'Toole stars as the Lama, a Tibetan holy man who befriends the mischievous, free-spirited orphan Kim and takes him on a mystical journey. When the British Secret Service's Mahbub Ali (Bryan Brown, The Thorn Birds) recruits Kim as a spy, the boy must use all his cunning to foil a plot to overthrow the British regime. Torn between two cultures and two very different mentors, Kim embarks on the ultimate journey - to find himself. (official distributor synopsis)
