Steve Irwin est un célèbre aventurier, gagnant sa vie en présentant des émissions animalières en Australie.

Mais ce que Steve ne sait pas c'est que les deux hommes sont en réalité des agents de la CIA courant après un crocodile qui a avalé une balise satellite américaine. Pour lui, c'est le début d'une aventure qu'il n'est pas près d'oublier!

The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course is a 2002 adventure comedy film based on the nature documentary television series The Crocodile Hunter. It stars Steve Irwin, his wife Terri Irwin in her film debut, Magda Szubanski, and David Wenham, and was directed by frequent Irwin collaborator John Stainton. Released in between the series' fourth and fifth seasons, Collision Course follows Steve and Terri attempting to save a crocodile from "poachers", unaware that the two men are actually American CIA agents on their trail because the crocodile has unwittingly swallowed a satellite tracking beacon. This was Steve Irwin's final film appearance before his death in 2006.

Production

Due to the series' immense popularity, director/producer Stainton had developed an idea for a feature-length Crocodile Hunter film in 1999 while shooting a documentary in Africa. He wanted to make a good film, but, at the same time, make it easy for Steve who was not used to acting, believing that Irwin should only play himself.

Cheyenne Enterprises, a film and television production company owned by Bruce Willis and producer Arnold Rifkin, showed interest in producing and helping finance the project. MGM then showed interest in distributing the film worldwide, and principal photography began in November 2001 after having filmed the non-scripted documentary segments for well over a year.

The film is also known for its "special shoot" teaser trailer, set in the MGM logo, with Steve interacting with Leo the Lion, MGM's mascot.
