Left for dead after a bear attack, a fur-trapper recuperates and pursues his former companions through dangerous Indian territory.

In the early 1800's, a group of fur trappers and Indian traders are returning with their goods to civilisation and are making a desperate attempt to beat the oncoming winter. When guide Zachary Bass is injured in a bear attack, they decide he's a goner and leave him behind to die. When he recovers instead, he swears revenge on them and tracks them and their paranoiac expedition leader down.—Alfred Jingle

This movie is based on a true story of a trapper and army scout Hugh Glass. During an expedition he was attacked by a grizzly bear sustaining grave injuries. Two men from the expedition were left behind while the others moved on. They were to bury Bass (Glass), upon his death. But the two left behind were afraid of being found by hostile Indians and left him in a shallow grave. Bass did recover and with help from the Indians did regain his strength and tracked down those who had left him. His intention was to exact revenge, but upon finding them, he just left those who deserted him pass and left them peacefully.—lonewolf2-736-360286

Follows protagonist Zachary Bass, performed immaculately by Richard Harris, who is left alone to die in the wilderness by members of his expedition team after a fatal bear attack. The story of survival begins with a series of series of chilling and suspenseful events finally leading him to reconnect with expedition headed by Captain Henry played by John Huston. However, the reconnect sequence is not as dramatic as the viewer is lead to expect. The movie, though, is a fine piece of western genre.—Imdad.Palijo
