# Boa vs. Python (2004) — Television & Cinema Intelligence Dossier

> **Archytele Living Vault Canonical Record**: https://www.archytele.com/show/boa-vs-python-2004

## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Boa vs. Python is a 2004 science fiction horror film directed by David Flores. The plot follows an overly ambitious businessman who transports an 80-foot python to the United States, where the creature escapes and kills humans, leading an FBI agent and a snake specialist to pit it against a bioengineered 70-foot boa constrictor.

The film was shot in Sofia, Bulgaria, and features a cast including David Hewlett, Jaime Bergman, and Kirk B.R. Woller. While the title promises a confrontation between the two reptiles, the production's low budget leads to an emphasis on human characters over the titular snake action.
