It is based on the true story of the 'Tsavo man eaters', a pair of male lions responsible for the deaths of many construction workers on the Kenya-Uganda Railway between March and December 1898. It was filmed with the Natural Vision 3D system. The film is notable for sparking the 3D film craze of the 1950s as well as for being the first feature-length 3D film in colour and the first 3D sound feature in English.
