The storyline

In the heart of Africa, perched on the edge of the spectacular Zambezi waterfalls, lies the amazing bird city of Zambezia; a bird sanctuary led by the wise and battle-tested Fish Eagle Sekhuru (Nimoy). The film follows a young flying daredevil Peregrine Falcon, Kai (Suarez), who leaves his remote outpost. Against his father's (Jackson) wishes he joins Zambezia's prestigious Hurricane defence flyers, fiercely trained by Ajax (Goldblum) to patrol the skies keeping Zambezia safe. Kai's father goes after him but is captured by the scheming Iguana lizard Budzo (Cummings) who conspires with the leader of the Marabous (Grant) to attack the sanctuary. Kai and his newly found soulmate Zoe (Breslin) find themselves in the middle of Budzo's deadly plot and need to gather all their friends, flying skills and a big dose of diplomacy to save Zambezia.
