About this product

Product Information

Jon Krakauer's bestselling nonfiction book about the life of Chris McCandless is finally brought to the big screen in INTO THE WILD. Directed by Sean Penn, the film opens in 1992, when Chris (Emile Hirsh) is a promising college graduate. Shortly after graduation, Chris gives his life savings to charity, burns all of his identification, and begins hitchhiking across America, his ultimate goal being Alaska. Citing passages from his heroes, Thoreau and Jack London, he is determined to escape society and get back to nature. He blows from town to town like a tumbleweed, hopping trains, camping with aging hippies (Catherine Keener and Brian Dierker), working briefly with a farmer (Vince Vaughan), and befriending a widowed leather worker (Hal Holbrook). He revels in his newfound freedom, but meanwhile, his parents (Marcia Gay Harden and William Hurt) have no idea where he is, and are sick with worry. While their relationship with Chris was already troubled, they are nonetheless devastated by his disappearance. Chris's sister, Carine (Jane Malone), narrates much of the film, offering her reflections on the effect Chris's absence has on his family. Chris finally makes it to Alaska, where he hikes out to a remote campsite and discovers an abandoned bus. He manages to survive there for a few months living off the land, but he eventually runs out of supplies and becomes trapped, leading to his tragic end.INTO THE WILD bounces around chronologically, jumping back and forth from the start of Chris's journey to his final few weeks living aboard the bus. This works to great effect as the storylines begin to merge and the tension and dread mount, and we see the fate that will eventually befall Chris. Penn obviously had great admiration for his subject, and while the film appears to differ from the book in places, it nevertheless paints a heartbreaking portrait of this young man's short but fascinating life.

    Naturally Compelling

    The dichotomy in this young man's character and personality traits is vividly portrayed here, yet without passing judgment. He was unquestionably awed by the majesty of nature, but somehow didn't respect it enough. He reminds me of a person who is enthralled with weaponry but neglects to approach it with proper training and caution. His treatment of people, too, is incongruous. He was deliberately cruel to his parents and sister, withholding correspondence from them, yet to those who were little more than acquaintances, he apparently gave love and respect. This film is simultaneously gritty and cruel, beautiful and touching. But it never goes too far in either direction. This kind of balance is difficult to achieve, and makes for a different but fulfilling viewing experience. Make sure to ...

  • Great movie based on a true story.

    Many stars in this along with some great acting make this story incredible. It's based on the true story of a man who decides to live off the grid after his parents bitter divorce. This leads him to the desolate tundras of Alaska where he discovers that true happiness is only real if it's shared. And it helps to live within driving distance of a hospital. This is a very long movie but well worth watching. Oh and he dies in the end.

  • Bizarre movie

    This movie would have been so much better had Sean Penn not had the film constantly bounce back and forth from present to past. There is a key piece of information that doesn’t get revealed until halfway through the film, so up til then you feel the main character is a ideological maverick, afterwards you find out he is just a messed up stupid, selfish brat.

  • An adventure in self realization as lived by an enigmatic young man.

    Be it Hirsch’ portrayal of Chris McCandles or Eddie Vedder’s enduring soundtrack, this movie did the book justice.
