Synopsis: Into the Wild"Freshly graduated from college with a promising future, 22 year-old Christopher McCandless instead walks out of his privileged life and into the wild in search of adventure. What happens to him on the way transforms this young wanderer into an enduring symbol for countless people. Is McCandless a heroic adventurer or a naïve idealist, a rebellious 1990s Thoreau or just another lost American son, a fearless risk-taker or a tragic figure who wrestles with the precarious balance between man and nature? McCandless' quest takes 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 encounters a series of colorful characters at the very edges of American society who shape his understanding of life and whose lives he, in turn, changes. In the end, he tests himself by heading alone into the wilds of the great North, where everything he has seen, learned and felt comes to a head in ways he could never have expected." |
