The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course is a 2002 Australian comedy-adventure film based on the nature documentary series The Crocodile Hunter, starring Steve Irwin and his wife Terri Irwin. The Irwins play themselves filming an episode of The Crocodile Hunter while trying to protect a crocodile. The film was theatrically released in the U.S. by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which used a crocodile in place of the usual Leo the Lion for its title credit logo sequence. In space, a top secret US satellite suddenly goes off its orbit, triggering its self-destruct mechanism. The resulting explosion sends a... piece flying towards Earth, landing in Australia where it is eaten by a large Saltwater crocodile. CIA Agent Ron Buckwhiler and Deputy Director Reynolds reveal that the satellite fragment was a beacon containing millions of classified images and secrets, which could change the axis of power in the world in the wrong hands. They decide to send Agents Wheeler and Archer as well as an operative in Australia. Steve and Terri Irwin are filming an episode of The Crocodile Hunter about the less-loveable of Australia's wildlife.
