Overvallers in de dierentuin

Three robbers who have just robbed a gas station flee into the zoo. But in their haste, they lose the note telling them where they hid the money. The note is found by two children who help take care of the animals in their spare time... This is the beginning of an exciting adventure, in which the children track down the crooks. In a wild chase through the zoo, the animals also make themselves heard, and the children receive help from an unexpected source!

Directed by Christ Stuur, Overvallers in de dierentuin leans on a strong ensemble — Miranda Sanders, Martin Versluys, Lex De Regt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1984.
