Twin tiger cubs Kumal and Sangha are torn apart when their father is killed by hunter Aidan McRory (Guy Pearce). Kumal finds himself in a circus, where his spirits are broken by an abusive trainer (Vincent Scarito), while Sangha is adopted by a politician's son (Freddie Highmore) and cast aside when he attacks the family dog. The brothers struggle to survive in a world where tigers are enslaved or killed for sport, and when they inevitably meet again, it is under the worst of circumstances.

Stunningly beautiful, but too intense for little kids. Go to Full Review Rex Reed Observer 07/23/2004
This is a family movie on a grand scale, enhanced by lush cinematography and throbbing music, with a minimum of dialogue and an endless assortment of thrills. Go to Full Review Nick De Semlyen Empire Magazine 07/23/2004

It's undoubtedly good-natured, old-fashioned family entertainment, but Two Brothers never quite manages to strike a successful balance between fantasy and reality. Go to Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review 08/07/2008

A fictícia história de dois irmãos tigres que são separados ainda bebês e tendo um reencontro magnífico numa arena, quando diante uma grande plateia não brigam e sim brincam...

See more 01/17/2020 Wow! This movie makes me cry. A story from the point of view of two baby tigers that are separated and their life becomes cruel. In the part of the reunion is when the story takes a course towards one of the happiest and at the same time saddest endings that I have seen.
