Synopsis
Benji the Hunted (1987) is Joe Camp's family wilderness adventure, ready to watch online on iFILM. After a boating accident, the little dog Benji is left alone deep in remote backcountry, far from any human help.
Survival is hard enough with a wolf, a bear and a territorial cougar prowling close by. Then Benji stumbles onto a litter of orphaned cougar cubs and takes them on, and suddenly the stray has to hunt up food for someone else's young while staying off the menu himself. The film runs almost entirely without dialogue: just the dog, the animals and the woods, shot with real trained creatures including the famous Bart the Bear.
Joe Camp, the man behind the whole Benji series, turns this into a surprisingly tense story about kindness and the instinct to protect — no violence, yet genuine worry for its hero. A solid pick for watching with kids. Stream Benji the Hunted (1987) online on iFILM.
