Plot:
Underneath a small patch of land cloaked in tall grass somewhere in a dark warren of the lush English countryside, Fiver, a skittish prescient rabbit, having shared his hauntingly vivid nightmares of destruction with his brother, Hazel, instigates a mass exodus in search of a safe new home. However, the journey to greener pastures is as long as it is precarious, entangling the audacious furry settlers in an endless string of shockingly unknown and devastating perils, which include not only voracious predators, but also betrayal and the mighty weapons of men. Is this the future the Lapine pilgrims have been dreaming of at the promised Watership Down Hill, especially when the ghastly warren chief, General Woundwort, awaits at the end of the line?
