In the film Primeval, the news team consists of reporter Tim Manfrey, cameraman Steven Johnson, and sound recordist Aviva Masters. They are sent to Burundi to capture the legendary crocodile known as Gustave, who is said to be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in the region.
As they begin their mission, they are soon targeted by a ruthless warlord named Little Gustave, who sees their presence as a threat to his power. Little Gustave and his men begin hunting the news team, and a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues as the team tries to capture the crocodile while also avoiding being killed by the warlord.
As tensions escalate, the team receives help from a local guide named Jacob, who has his own reasons for wanting to capture the crocodile. Together, they navigate the dangerous waters of the Burundi swamps, facing not only the threat of the massive crocodile but also the constant danger posed by Little Gustave and his forces.
Ultimately, the team must use all their skills and resourcefulness to not only capture Gustave but also survive the deadly conflict that surrounds them. The film explores themes of survival, redemption, and the clash between nature and humanity in a hostile environment.
