Plot Summary
Doug McCallister, Griff Griffin, Kenny Trent, and Claire Simons are childhood friends dissatisfied with their adult lives. When Griff claims he has acquired the rights to their favorite childhood movie, Anaconda, the group secures funding and travels to the Brazilian Amazon to shoot a low-budget independent remake.
During production, disaster strikes when Griff accidentally kills the snake intended for filming. As they search for a replacement, a tracker is attacked, and the crew soon realizes a massive green anaconda is stalking the jungle. Tensions rise when Ana, a mysterious woman posing as a vigilante against illegal gold miners, joins the group. Doug becomes obsessed with rewriting the film around her, causing conflict with Griff.
The truth unravels when another film crew appears, and Griff admits he never legally owned the remake rights. After leaving to join the rival crew, Griff discovers their camp destroyed and everyone brutally killed by the anaconda.
Ana is later exposed as an illegal gold miner fleeing the police. In a violent turn of events, she murders a police officer and forces the crew to help her gather gold—until the anaconda drags her underwater to her death. As the survivors attempt to escape, Doug is attacked and presumed dead, only to narrowly survive and rejoin the group.
The friends encounter a destroyed film set and unexpectedly meet Ice Cube, who helps them attempt to kill the snake using explosives. When the plan fails, Griff detonates propane tanks, and Doug delivers the final, fatal strike to the anaconda.
The group completes their film but is denied theatrical release after receiving a cease-and-desist notice from Sony. In the aftermath, Griff and Claire marry, Doug is approached by Jennifer Lopez to direct a legitimate Hollywood reboot, and a final twist reveals that Santiago—the presumed-dead snake handler—is still alive.,
