Scar refuses to help Mufasa, instead sending him falling to his death. Mufasa saves Simba but ends up hanging perilously from the gorge's edge. He informs Mufasa of Simba's peril, knowing that the king will rush to save his son. Scar sets a trap for his brother and nephew, luring Simba into a gorge and having the hyenas drive a large herd of wildebeest into a stampede that will trample him. Meanwhile, Scar visits the hyenas and convinces them to help him overthrow Mufasa in exchange for hunting rights in the Pride Lands. Though upset with Simba, Mufasa forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Simba. Mufasa hears about the incident from his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu, and rescues the cubs. He tricks Simba and his best friend Nala into exploring a forbidden elephants' graveyard, where they are chased by a clan of hyenas led by the ruthless Shenzi. Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, covets the throne and plots to get rid of Mufasa and Simba, so he may become king. Mufasa shows Simba the Pride Lands and explains to him the responsibilities of kingship and the "circle of life," which connects all living things. King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi present their newborn son, Simba, to the gathering animals by Rafiki the mandrill, the kingdom's shaman and advisor. In the Pride Lands of Africa, a pride of lions rule over the animal kingdom from Pride Rock. A follow-up film is in development with Barry Jenkins attached to direct.

Composers Hans Zimmer, Elton John, and lyricist Tim Rice, all of whom worked on the original's soundtrack, returned to compose the score alongside Knowles-Carter, who assisted John in the reworking of the soundtrack and wrote a new song for the film, titled " Spirit", which she also performed. The "virtual-reality tools" utilized in The Jungle Book 's cinematography were used to a greater degree during filming of The Lion King. Much of the main cast signed in early 2017, and principal photography began in mid-2017 on a blue screen stage in Los Angeles. Favreau was inspired by certain roles of characters in the Broadway adaptation, and developed upon elements of the original film's story. Plans for a remake of 1994's The Lion King were confirmed in September 2016 following box office successes for Disney remakes such as The Jungle Book (2016), which was also directed by Favreau.
The plot follows Simba, a young lion who must embrace his role as the rightful king of his homeland following the murder of his father, Mufasa, at the hands of his uncle, Scar.

It is a photorealistic remake of Disney's traditionally animated 1994 film of the same name.
