In the film, Crocodile Dundee is played by actor Paul Hogan and is portrayed as a tough and skilled hunter who has spent most of his life in the Australian Outback. When ambitious New York reporter, Sue Charlton (played by Linda Kozlowski), hears of Dundee's exploits, she travels to Australia to meet him and suggests they do a feature story about his life.
Dundee agrees to the proposal and accompanies Charlton to New York City, where he finds himself thrown into a completely foreign world. He is fascinated by the towering skyscrapers and flashing lights of Times Square, but he soon discovers that the city can be just as dangerous as the Outback. He is mugged by a gang in Central Park but successfully fends them off with his hunting knife.
As Dundee begins to explore New York, he meets some eccentric characters, including a prostitute who takes a liking to him and an Irish bartender who becomes a loyal friend. He also has to navigate the often-stuffy social scene of high society New York, where he is bewildered by the customs and traditions.
Despite his initial culture shock, Dundee impresses Sue and her colleagues with his resourcefulness and street smarts. When Sue is kidnapped by drug dealers, Dundee bravely rescues her and helps bring the villains to justice.
The film was a major commercial success and became a beloved classic, earning several Academy Award nominations and spawning two sequels. Its themes of cultural clash and the triumph of the underdog have made it a popular movie for all generations.
