Ryan Tries to Survive the Serengeti

Jeri Ryan sure does know how to mix things up. She's showing off her serious dramatic chops this season on Bosch, playing a femme fatale, and she stars as a worried mom in the family adventure film Against the Wild 2: Survive the Serengeti, arriving April 29 on Digital HD and on DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment on May 10.

For bickering siblings Ryan (John Paul Ruttan of Shelby: A Magical Holiday Tail) and Emma (Ella Ballentine of Standoff), it was going to be a fun weekend visit with their dad, who is temporarily working in Africa. But when their small plane crash-lands in the Serengeti, they have only each other – along with their fellow passenger, a Malamute named Chinook – to rely on. The rescue teams are searching. Their mom (Jeri Ryan of “Star Trek: Voyager” and “Boston Public”) is panicked. Can brother, sister and one courageous dog now learn how to conquer their fears and trust each other in the most beautiful yet untamed wilderness of all? Ashley Dowds (“Scout’s Safari”) co-stars in this exciting new family adventure from the creator of the original Against the Wild,  Richard Boddington.

The DVD will sell for the suggested retail price of $19.98. Go to www.amazon.com to pre-order it.
