The Revenant (2015)
Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Revenant (2015) is an American Western action drama film based on the experiences of frontiersman Hugh Glass in 1823. The screenplay, written by Mark L. Smith and Iñárritu, was adapted from Michael Punke’s 2002 novel of the same name and inspired by the 1915 poem The Song of Hugh Glass. In late 1823, Glass leads Captain Andrew Henry’s trappers through present-day Dakotas while on a hunting trip with his half-Pawnee son, Hawk. During their journey, they are ambushed by an Arikara war party searching for their abducted Chief’s daughter, Powaqa. Despite putting up a fight, many of the trappers are killed and the survivors flee on a boat. With Glass as their guide, they embark on a trek to Fort Kiowa on foot instead of traveling downriver to avoid further danger. Upon reaching their destination, they hide their pelts along the shore.
While scouting for game, Glass is viciously attacked by a female grizzly bear protecting her cubs, leaving him on the brink of death. Fearing the possibility of an Arikara ambush, Trapper John Fitzgerald argues that they must end Glass’s suffering and continue on their journey. Although Henry agrees, he cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. Instead, he offers financial compensation to anyone willing to stay with Glass until his death and give him a proper burial. The only two who volunteer are Hawk and Jim Bridger, prompting Fitzgerald to also stay for the promise of reimbursement for his lost pelts. However, when they are alone, Fitzgerald attempts to smother Glass but is stopped by Hawk’s intervention.
