Wild Rescue, an uplifting film following the inspiring journey of animals given a second chance at a wild life, opens at the AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) on Friday, September 5. Produced by Tandem Stills + Motion, Inc., Wild Rescue is based on the work at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network and its dedicated teams who rescue, rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned wild animals. The film is narrated by Marc Summers of Nickelodeon’s “Double Dare” and Food Network’s “Unwrapped.”

From the arrival of a fragile bobcat to the rehabilitation of a young fox evacuated during a wildfire, explore hospital admissions, groundbreaking medical treatments and the delicate balance of wildlife care. With breathtaking cinematography and heartwarming moments, Wild Rescue reminds us that every creature deserves a second chance – and that hope is worth fighting for.

Wild Rescue was filmed using the latest Red Digital Cinema camera systems, including the Red Raptor VV X. The film team captured breathtaking detail and dynamic range, enhancing every visual element for an unparalleled cinematic experience. Combined with cutting-edge aerial cinematography, immersive sound design and advanced visual effects, the film delivers a visually stunning and emotionally rich theater experience.
