At the Movies – The Revenant

In 1820s America, frontiersman and fur trapper Hugh Glass and his teenage son Hawk join a pelt-gathering expedition.

However, their party are attacked by Native Americans, who kill a number of the men. Glass then tries to lead the remainder of the group to safety, charting a new path to a U.S. fort. Unfortunately, he is soon mauled by a grizzly bear while hunting for food, and is horribly wounded.

He is left in the care of roughneck John Fitzgerald and the young and inexperienced Jim Bridger. While Glass watches on in horror, Fitzgerald kills Hawk, and leaves Glass buried alive in a shallow grave, but Glass nurses himself back to health and sets out to seek revenge.
