Output (English): Michael Cromwell Tim Allen is a selfabsorbed, successful commodities broker living in New York City. Wanting to marry his new fiancee Charlotte Lolita Davidovich, he needs to obtain a final divorce from his first wife Patricia JoBeth Williams who left him some years earlier. Patricia now lives with a semiWesternised tribe in Canaima National Park, Venezuela. Michael travels there to get her signature on divorce papers, but upon arriving, discovers that he has a 13yearold son named MimiSiku Sam Huntington. Michael attempts to bond with MimiSiku in his brief stay with the tribe and promises to take him to New York when he is a man. Michael is also given a new name, Baboon, as is a custom in the tribe. That night, MimiSiku undergoes the traditional rite of passage of his tribe, who then considers him to be a man. The tribal elder gives Mimi a special task: to become a tribal leader one day, Mimi must bring fire from the Statue of Liberty and he looks forward to traveling with his father. Against his own protests, Michael brings MimiSiku to New York with him. Michael works as a trader at the World Trade Center in building 7. Michaels fiancee, Charlotte, is less than pleased about the unexpected visitor in a loin cloth outfit, who tries to urinate in front of her at a fake tree as is usual in his tribe, suggests eating her cat, and Maitika, his enormous pet tarantula escapes from his box and into her apartment. MimiSiku wears traditional dress during much of his stay in New York. As Michael attempts to adapt MimiSiku to city life, crosscultural misunderstandings occur when MimiSiku reverts to customs considered acceptable by his tribe. On climbing the Statue of Liberty to reach the flame, MimiSiku is disappointed when he sees that the fire is not real. While staying at the home of Michaels partner Richard Kempster Martin Short, MimiSiku falls in love with Richards daughter Karen Leelee Sobieski. He paints her face and gives her a new name, Ukume, as is the custom in his tribe. Richard resents Mimis presence in his home due to his influence over Karen and because he cooked and ate his valuable, prizewinning Poecilia latipinna fish. Richard then freaks out when he sees his daughter and Mimi together in a hammock and threatens to send her to an allgirls summer camp. The Kempsters and Michael are later targeted by Alexei Jovanovic David Ogden Stiers, a Russian mobster and caviar dealer, who believes that they have cheated him in a business deal. Jovanovic arrives at the Kempsters and tortures Richard for info. Since he refuses, he tries to amputate Richards fingers in revenge. By fighting together and utilizing MimiSikus hunting skills and Maitika, the two families fight off Jovanovics group. MimiSiku returns to the Amazon jungle, but before he leaves, his father gives him a satellite phone so they can stay in touch. Michael also presents Mimi with a Statue of Liberty cigarette lighter, which produces fire from the torch and will fulfill Mimis quest. In return, Mimi gives his father a blowpipe and poisoned darts, telling Michael to practice and come to see him when he can hit flies. Shortly afterwards, Michael finds himself disheartened by the ratrace and realizes that his relationship with Charlotte is not working for him anymore. He attempts to kill a fly with his blowpipe on the trading floor of the New York Board of Trade. He hits the fly, but also Langston, his boss, who collapses asleep on the trading floor. Michael returns to LipoLipo to see his son and exwife, bringing the Kempster family with him for a vacation. Karen and Mimi are reunited, and it is suggested that Michael and Patricia also resume their relationship. As the credits start rolling, Michael undergoes the rite of passage as Mimi did earlier.
