25-year-old safari guide Richard Field was living his dream—leading tourists through wild Africa in search of lions. But one step off the beaten path would change everything. What began as a routine tracking mission turned into a nightmare. He came face-to-face with death in its rawest, most primal form. After stepping out of his vehicle to follow fresh paw prints, he was suddenly ambushed by a charging lioness defending her young. Knocked to the ground and mauled, Richard was moments from death as the lioness sank her teeth into his skull. A desperate fight for survival. And a moment so raw, so intimate, it would leave Richard clinging to life.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
