Plot: Deep in the dense jungle, the wise black panther, Bagheera, takes pity on the abandoned infant, Mowgli, and entrusts the helpless little orphan to the wolves Akela, the Alpha male, and Raksha, the wary she-wolf. Born of man, yet raised by wolves, young Mowgli quickly learns the ways of the pack and how to avoid danger, always under Bagheera's ever-watchful eye; however, during a "water truce", the boy catches the attention of the carnivorous Bengal tiger, Shere Khan. But, who is the peculiar new member of the den, and the weirdest creature among all animals? As a result, the menacing beast swears that, by the first drop of rain, he will kill this boy, before he ever gets the chance to become a man and imperil the jungle. Now, for fear of this savage threat, Mowgli separates from his pack to seek refuge in the lush forest, only to find out that, in this vast green maze, exist not only friends but also foes. Poor Mowgli, without claws, hardly any fur, or sharp teeth, how will you manage to stay alive?
Alternative Plot: Raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli (Neel Sethi) must leave the only home he's ever known when the fearsome tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba) unleashes his mighty roar. Guided by a no-nonsense panther (Ben Kingsley) and a free-spirited bear (Bill Murray), the young boy meets an array of jungle animals, including a slithery python and a smooth-talking ape. Along the way, Mowgli learns valuable life lessons as his epic journey of self-discovery leads to fun and adventure.
