[projekktor id=’22632′]

The Revenant is a frontier drama directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Birdman). Based on Michael Punke’s 2002 novel “The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge”, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson, and Will Poulter.

Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT is an epic story of survival and transformation on the American frontier.  While on an expedition into the uncharted wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally mauled by a bear, then abandoned by members of his own hunting team. Alone and near death, Glass refuses to succumb.  Driven by sheer will and his love for his Native American wife and son, he undertakes a 200-mile odyssey through the vast and untamed West on the trail of the man who betrayed him: John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy).  What begins as a relentless quest for revenge becomes a heroic saga against all odds towards home and redemption.

“The Revenant is an incredible journey through the harshest elements of an uncharted America,” says DiCaprio. “It’s about the power of a man’s spirit. Hugh Glass’s story is the stuff of campfire legends, but Alejandro uses that folklore to explore what it really means to have all the chips stacked against you, what the human spirit can endure and what happens to you when you do endure.”

The Revenant is rated 14A.
