"Into the Wild" by Sean Penn, starring Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden, and William Hurt – Adventure, Biopic, Drama
Fresh out of college, 22-year-old Christopher McCandless had a bright future ahead of him. Yet, turning his back on the comfortable, predictable life that awaited him, the young man decided to hit the road, leaving everything behind.
From the wheat fields of Dakota to the turbulent waters of the Colorado River, via the hippie communities of California, Christopher will encounter a cast of colorful characters. Each one, in their own way, will shape his view of life and of others.
At the end of his journey, Christopher will achieve his ultimate goal by venturing alone into the Alaskan wilderness to live in complete harmony with nature.
