The year is 1823, and the trappers of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company live a brutal
frontier life. Trapping beaver, they contend daily with the threat of Indian tribes
turned warlike over the white men's encroachment on their land, and other prairie
foes -- like the unforgiving landscape and its creatures. Hugh Glass is among the
Company's finest men, an experienced frontiersman and an expert tracker. But when
a scouting mission puts him face-to-face with a grizzly bear, he is viciously mauled
and not expected to survive. The Company's captain dispatches two of his men to stay
behind and tend to Glass before he dies, and to give him the respect of a proper burial.
When the two men abandon him instead, taking his only means of protecting himself
-- including his precious gun and hatchet -- with them, Glass is driven to survive
by one desire: revenge. With shocking grit and determination, Glass sets out crawling
inch by inch across more than three thousand miles of uncharted American frontier,
negotiating predators both human and not, the threat of starvation, and the agony
of his horrific wounds. (Based on a true story.)
