"As long as you can
still grab a breath, you fight. You breathe... keep breathing." -
Hugh Glass
Why watch this? This
is a hyper-realistic account of perilous life in the
pre-1850 American wilderness.
Plot Summary:
During a fur-trapping expedition in the American wilderness of
1823, frontiersman Hugh Glass is brutally mauled by a bear and
left for dead by a member of his team. Against all odds, Glass
survives his injuries and battles the harsh winter environment
in a harrowing journey to seek vengeance against those who
abandoned him. His incredible struggle becomes a test of the
human will to endure against unimaginable odds in the pursuit of
justice.

Dad's Preview:
Can you imagine the North American frontier before malls, Arby's
and National Parks? It was a brutal existence, and inhabitants had
to be able to hunt, brave the elements and defend themselves -
successfully. Life
was, as they say, cheap. This incredible tale centers on a
father's love, dastardly betrayal, murder and one man's quest for vengeance. It
is essential viewing. That said, what you'll most likely remember is
the harrowing bear attack. |
