Synopsis

The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) South African Action  Adventure Comedy film written and directed by Jamie Uys. The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980) is the most successful movie in the South Africa’s film industry. The film is the first release in The Gods Must Be Crazy series. It is followed by The Gods Must Be Crazy II official sequel.

For five thousand years, things have stayed pretty much the same for Xi and his fellow Bushmen. Then one day, an empty Coke® bottle drops magically from the sky, and life goes topsy-turvy in the face of this generous “gift of the Gods.” An international sensation, The Gods Must Be Crazy is one of the most original and thought-provoking comedies ever. Starring a real-life Bushman N!xau, it’s a movie that looks at us from the other side – and shows us just how crazy we are!
