A comedy-drama featuring a stuffy government scientist, Fred, who is asked by a fishing-obsessed Arab Sheik to do the seemingly impossible - introduce British salmon to the Wadis of the Yemen.
Despite considerable trepidation, Fred is finally won over by the charismatic Arab, who reveals that fishing brings him closer to God, and he hopes it will have the same effect on his countrymen.
The film has a dream cast (including Kristin Scott-Thomas, Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt), is adapted from Paul Torday’s hit novel by Simon Beaufoy and is directed by the excellent Lasse Hallstrom.
