In the dense primeval forest, there lives a human child named Mowgli (Neel Sethi). Orphaned at an early age for some reason, he is first found by Bagheera the Black Panther (Ben Kingsley), who entrusts Mowgli to Akra, the leader of the Wolf clan. From then on, Mowgli grew up as a Wolf in the woods, learning hunting and survival skills with his siblings. However, not all animals accept Mowgli’s presence, especially the tiger Sheri Khan (Idris Elba), who has been harmed by humans, and regards the boy as a thorn in his side. When Shelly Khan threatens the wolves, the wolves are forced to decide the fate of the pack. Mowgli does not want his “family” to be embarrassed, he chooses to leave the pack, and Bagheera, his only companion, wants to return to the human world with the boy.
Even so, Shelly Khan is not willing to stop, he launched an endless hunt for the boy…
