The Revenant (2015) is a visceral and intense survival drama, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and based on true events and the 2002 novel by Michael Punke.The film follows Hugh Glass (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), a frontiersman and fur trapper in the early 19th century, who is left for dead after being mauled by a bear during a perilous expedition in the American wilderness. The film explores his harrowing journey of survival as he battles against nature, hostile environments, and betrayal, driven by the desire for revenge against the men who abandoned him.

After the attack, Glass is severely injured, struggling to survive in the harsh, unforgiving wilderness. His companions, including John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), a treacherous and cold-hearted fur trapper, leave him behind, assuming he will not survive. However, Glass defies the odds, using every ounce of strength and resilience to navigate the dangerous terrain, track down his betrayers, and seek vengeance for the death of his son.

As Glass pushes forward through unthinkable hardships—surviving extreme cold, battling wild animals, and enduring hunger—he faces not only physical but emotional trials as well, grappling with his deep grief and sense of loss. The film becomes a journey not just of survival but of spiritual transformation, as Glass is forced to confront his inner demons and the human drive to survive against all odds.
