They believe it to be a gift from their gods. When Xi sets out to return the bottle to the sky gods, his journey becomes intertwined with that of a biologist (Marius Weyers), a newly hired village schoolteacher (Sandra Prinsloo), and a band of guerrilla terrorists.

The Gods Must Be Crazy was released in South Africa in 1980 by Ster-Kinekor and broke several box office records in the country due to its immediate popularity, becoming the most financially successful South African film ever produced up to that time. More
