Hunt for the Wilderpeople background

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

In the midst of the New Zealand wilderness, a teenager and his foster uncle venture into the unknown, prompting a massive search effort when they vanish without a trace.

A reclusive country couple, Bella and Hector, take in a troubled city kid, Ricky, as foster parents. Initially, the adjustment is smooth, but after Bella's passing, Hector struggles to care for Ricky on his own. Their strained relationship prompts Child Services to consider sending Ricky back to the orphanage, but Ricky refuses and goes on the run, leading to a nationwide manhunt involving both him and Hector.
