Out of Africa

Out of Africa is a 1985 American epic romantic drama film directed and produced by Sydney Pollack, and starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. The film is based loosely on the 1937 autobiographical book Out of Africa written by Isak Dinesen (the pseudonym of Danish author Karen Blixen), with additional material from Dinesen's 1960 book Shadows on the Grass and other sources.

Plot

In 1913, after being rejected by a Swedish nobleman, Danish aristocrat Karen Dinesen proposes a marriage of convenience to the nobleman's brother, Baron Bror Blixen. They plan to move to Nairobi, British East Africa, where Bror intends to use Karen's money to establish a dairy farm. She will join him a few months later, at which time they will marry. En route to Nairobi, Karen's train is hailed by big-game hunter Denys Finch Hatton, who knows Bror and entrusts her with his ivory haul.
