Hanuman est un film franco-indien réalisé par Frédéric Fougea, sorti en 1998. Il raconte la lutte entre Tom, un jeune Écossais, et des trafiquants d'œuvres sacrées en Inde dans les années 1990 ; le titre du film, Hanuman, est le nom du dieu-singe hindou dont Tom retrouve par hasard une statue, mais l'intrigue fait aussi régulièrement allusion à la légende du dieu Hanuman.

Synopsis

Tom, un jeune Écossais, a passé une partie de son enfance dans le sud de l'Inde en compagnie de son père. Celui-ci, archéologue, avait découvert une statue du dieu hindou Hanuman. Des années plus tard, Tom retrouve par hasard cette statue mise aux enchères dans une vente à Londres. Comprenant que la statue et d'autres œuvres du même genre font l'objet d'un trafic, il décide de repartir en Inde du Sud pour lutter contre les trafiquants. Il y retrouve une femme, Anja, son premier amour, alors sur le point de se marier avec un Indien. Tom se trouve menacé par les trafiquants d'art qui tentent d'éliminer le gêneur ; entre alors en scène Hanou, un jeune macaque, qui sauve la vie à Tom et fait preuve d'une intelligence hors du commun.
