Freshley graduated from college with a promising future ahead, 22-year-old Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) instead walked out on his privileged life and into the wild in search of adventure. What happened to him on the way transformed this young wanderer into an emerging symbol for countless people. Was Christopher a heroic adventurer or a naive idealist, a rebelious 1990's Thoreau or another lost American son, a fearless risk-taker or a tragic figure who wrestled with the precious balance between man and nature?
McCandless' quest took him from the wheat fields of South Dakota to a renegade trip down the Colorado River to the non-conformists' refuge of Slab City, California, and beyond. Along the way, he encountered a series of colorful characters at the very edges of American society who shaped his understanding of life and whose lives he, in turn, changed. In the end, he tested himself by heading alone into the wilds of the great North, where everything he had seen and learned and felt came to a head in ways he never could have expected.
Adapted by Jon Krakauer's acclaimed bestseller Into The Wild.

At some point, everyone has thought of doing this. He did it

Into the Wild is an amazing film. It's not an action film, it's not about horror, its not a drama. Its just true. This film is about a man who is so sick of our materialistic and selfish world and decides that he doesn't need money or expensive cars. He rips up his ID and his credit cards, gives his savings to charity and leaves.
He goes on the most increidable journey to Alaska to live off the land and he meets people along the way who are considered weird and outcasts, but who he shares a bond with. When I was first told about this movie, I had never heard of it, but having watched it I would reccomend it to everyone.
How many of us have dreamed, at one point or another, of just getting in our car and leaving all of this behind? Well this guy actually did it.
Into the Wild

The most inspiring film i've watched in my short and colourful life. This film made me smile and cry at the end. Life lessons are hard learned and this is no more true than in the true story of Christopher McCandless.
Every soul who has a soul needs to see this film, or forever lead a life of uninspired boredom.
