It is an adaptation of\nthe 1996 non-fiction book\nwritten by\nJon Krakauer\nand tells the story of\nChristopher McCandless\n(\"Alexander\nSupertramp\n\"), a man who hiked across\nNorth America\ninto the\nAlaskan wilderness\nin the early 1990s. The film stars\nEmile Hirsch\nas McCandless,\nHal Holbrook\n, and\nCatherine Keener\n.\nThe film premiered during the 2007\nRome Film Fest\nand opened outside\nFairbanks, Alaska\n, on September 21, 2007.\nIn April 1992,\nChris McCandless\narrives in a remote area called\nHealy\n, just north of\nDenali National Park and Preserve\nin\nAlaska\n. Noting McCandless's unpreparedness, the man who drops him off gives him\ngumboots\n.\nMcCandless sets up camp in an\nabandoned city bus\nthat he calls \"The Magic Bus\". He is content with the isolation, the beauty of nature, and the thrill of living off the land. He hunts with a\n.22 rifle\n, reads books, and keeps a journal as he prepares his new life in the wild.\nIn May 1990, McCandless graduates with high honors from\nEmory University\n. He is disenchanted with modern society after discovering he and his sister Carine were born out of wedlock.\nMcCandless destroys his credit cards and identification, donates his savings to\nOxfam\nand sets out on a cross-country drive in his\nDatsun 210\nto experience life in the wilderness. He does not tell his parents or Carine what he is doing or where he is going and does not contact them after his departure. This causes his parents to become increasingly anxious.\nAt\nLake Mead\n, McCandless's car is caught in a flash flood; he abandons it and begins\nhitchhiking\n. Burning what remains of his cash, he assumes the name \"Alexander Supertramp\". In\nNorthern California\n, McCandless encounters\nhippie\ncouple Jan and Rainey. Rainey tells him his relationship with Jan is failing, which McCandless helps rekindle.\nIn September, McCandless arrives in\nCarthage, South Dakota\n, and works for a contract harvesting company owned by Wayne Westerberg. He leaves after Westerberg is arrested for\nsatellite piracy\n.\nMcCandless kayaks down the\nColorado River\nand, though told by park rangers he may not do so without a license, ignores their warnings and goes downriver to Mexico. His kayak is lost in a dust storm, and he crosses back into the United States on foot. Unable to hitch a ride, he jumps on freight trains to\nLos Angeles\n. Not long after arriving, however, he starts feeling \"corrupted\" by modern civilization and leaves. He is forced to resume hitchhiking when\nrailroad police\ncatch and beat him.\nIn December 1991, McCandless arrives at\nSlab City\n, in the\nImperial Valley\n, and encounters Jan and Rainey again. He also meets Tracy Tatro, a teenage girl who shows interest in him, but he turns her down because she is a minor. After the holidays, McCandless continues heading for Alaska.\nOne month later, camping near\nSalton City\n, McCandless meets Ron Franz, a retired widower who lost his family in a car accident while he was serving in the\nUnited States Army\n. He leads a lonely life in a workshop as a leather worker. Franz teaches McCandless leatherwork, resulting in the making of a belt detailing his travels.\nAfter two months with Franz, McCandless decides to leave for Alaska. Franz gives McCandless his old camping and travel gear, along with an offer to adopt him as his grandchild. McCandless tells him they should discuss it after he returns from Alaska.\nFour months later, at the abandoned bus, life for McCandless becomes harder, and he makes several poor decisions. Trying to live off the land, he hunts down a large\nmoose\nwith his rifle, but cannot\npreserve the meat\nand it spoils within days. As his supplies dwindle, he realizes that nature can be harsh.\nMcCandless concludes that true happiness can be found only when shared with others, and he seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family. However, he finds that the\nstream\nhe crossed during the winter has become wide, deep, and violent due to the thaw, and he is unable to cross. Defeated, he returns to the bus.\nIn a desperate act, McCandless gathers and eats roots and plants. He confuses similar plants and eats a\npoisonous one\n, falling sick as a result. Slowly dying, he continues to document his process of self-realization, and imagines what it might have been like if he had managed to return to his family. He writes a farewell note to the world and crawls into his sleeping bag to die.\nTwo weeks later, moose\nhunters\nfind his body. Shortly afterwards, Carine returns to Virginia with her brother's ashes in her backpack.\nEmile Hirsch\nas\nChris McCandless\na.k.a.

The music at the end of the theatrical trailer is \"Acts of Courage\" by\nX-Ray Dog\n, a company that supplies music for many movie trailers. Eddie Vedder said that while writing the songs on the album \"I spent three days giving him (Sean Penn) colors that I could paint with. Different sounds. It would be pump organ and vocal, or it would be an uptempo song. I just gave him 25 minutes of music, stuff I felt that were colors on the palette. And I really didn't think anything was gonna come out of it. Maybe a little piece or something\".\n[\n30\n]\nThe abandoned and decaying bus on the\nStampede Trail\nwhere McCandless died became a pilgrimage destination for fans. In the 1940s, a road crew had taken the bus to a remote trail in\nDenali Borough, Alaska\n, 30 miles (50 km) from the nearest town, according to Denali Borough Mayor Clay Walker. Visitors had to cross the dangerous\nTeklanika River\n. In 2010, a Swiss woman drowned.\n[\n31\n]\nIn 2019, a newlywed Belarusian woman drowned in the swollen river on her way to the site. Five Italians were rescued in February 2020, with one suffering from severe frostbite, and a stranded Brazilian was rescued in April 2020. In total, 15 search and rescue operations for visitors were carried out between 2009 and 2017.\nOn June 18, 2020, the bus was removed due to public safety concerns.

It is an adaptation of [the 1996 non-fiction book](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Into_the_Wild_\$Krakauer_book\$ \"Into the Wild (Krakauer book)\") written by [Jon Krakauer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jon_Krakauer \"Jon Krakauer\") and tells the story of [Christopher McCandless](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chris_McCandless \"Chris McCandless\") (\"Alexander [Supertramp](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tramp \"Tramp\")\"), a man who hiked across [North America](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/North_America \"North America\") into the [Alaskan wilderness](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Interior_Alaska \"Interior Alaska\") in the early 1990s. The film stars [Emile Hirsch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emile_Hirsch \"Emile Hirsch\") as McCandless, [Hal Holbrook](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hal_Holbrook \"Hal Holbrook\"), and [Catherine Keener](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Catherine_Keener \"Catherine Keener\").\n\nThe film premiered during the 2007 [Rome Film Fest](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rome_Film_Fest \"Rome Film Fest\") and opened outside [Fairbanks, Alaska](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fairbanks,_Alaska \"Fairbanks, Alaska\"), on September 21, 2007.\n\n## Plot\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Into_the_Wild_\$film\$&action=edit&section=1 \"Edit section: Plot\")\\]\n\nIn April 1992, [Chris McCandless](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chris_McCandless \"Chris McCandless\") arrives in a remote area called [Healy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Healy,_Alaska \"Healy, Alaska\"), just north of [Denali National Park and Preserve](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Denali_National_Park_and_Preserve \"Denali National Park and Preserve\") in [Alaska](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alaska \"Alaska\"). Noting McCandless's unpreparedness, the man who drops him off gives him [gumboots](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gumboots \"Gumboots\").\n\nMcCandless sets up camp in an [abandoned city bus](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stampede_Trail#Bus_142 \"Stampede Trail\") that he calls \"The Magic Bus\". He is content with the isolation, the beauty of nature, and the thrill of living off the land. He hunts with a [.22 rifle](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/.22_rifle \".22 rifle\"), reads books, and keeps a journal as he prepares his new life in the wild.\n\n### Flashback\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Into_the_Wild_\$film\$&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Flashback\")\\]\n\nIn May 1990, McCandless graduates with high honors from [Emory University](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emory_University \"Emory University\"). He is disenchanted with modern society after discovering he and his sister Carine were born out of wedlock.\n\nMcCandless destroys his credit cards and identification, donates his savings to [Oxfam](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Oxfam \"Oxfam\") and sets out on a cross-country drive in his [Datsun 210](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nissan_Sunny#B210_\$1973%E2%80%931977\$ \"Nissan Sunny\") to experience life in the wilderness. He does not tell his parents or Carine what he is doing or where he is going and does not contact them after his departure. This causes his parents to become increasingly anxious.\n\nAt [Lake Mead](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lake_Mead \"Lake Mead\"), McCandless's car is caught in a flash flood; he abandons it and begins [hitchhiking](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hitchhiking \"Hitchhiking\"). Burning what remains of his cash, he assumes the name \"Alexander Supertramp\". In [Northern California](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Northern_California \"Northern California\"), McCandless encounters [hippie](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hippie \"Hippie\") couple Jan and Rainey. Rainey tells him his relationship with Jan is failing, which McCandless helps rekindle.\n\nIn September, McCandless arrives in [Carthage, South Dakota](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carthage,_South_Dakota \"Carthage, South Dakota\"), and works for a contract harvesting company owned by Wayne Westerberg. He leaves after Westerberg is arrested for [satellite piracy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Satellite_piracy \"Satellite piracy\").\n\nMcCandless kayaks down the [Colorado River](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colorado_River \"Colorado River\") and, though told by park rangers he may not do so without a license, ignores their warnings and goes downriver to Mexico. His kayak is lost in a dust storm, and he crosses back into the United States on foot. Unable to hitch a ride, he jumps on freight trains to [Los Angeles](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Los_Angeles \"Los Angeles\"). Not long after arriving, however, he starts feeling \"corrupted\" by modern civilization and leaves. He is forced to resume hitchhiking when [railroad police](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Railroad_police#United_States \"Railroad police\") catch and beat him.\n\nIn December 1991, McCandless arrives at [Slab City](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Slab_City,_California \"Slab City, California\"), in the [Imperial Valley](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Imperial_Valley \"Imperial Valley\"), and encounters Jan and Rainey again. He also meets Tracy Tatro, a teenage girl who shows interest in him, but he turns her down because she is a minor. After the holidays, McCandless continues heading for Alaska.\n\nOne month later, camping near [Salton City](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Salton_City,_California \"Salton City, California\"), McCandless meets Ron Franz, a retired widower who lost his family in a car accident while he was serving in the [United States Army](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Army \"United States Army\"). He leads a lonely life in a workshop as a leather worker. Franz teaches McCandless leatherwork, resulting in the making of a belt detailing his travels.\n\nAfter two months with Franz, McCandless decides to leave for Alaska. Franz gives McCandless his old camping and travel gear, along with an offer to adopt him as his grandchild. McCandless tells him they should discuss it after he returns from Alaska.\n\n### Flashforward\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Into_the_Wild_\$film\$&action=edit&section=3 \"Edit section: Flashforward\")\\]\n\nFour months later, at the abandoned bus, life for McCandless becomes harder, and he makes several poor decisions. Trying to live off the land, he hunts down a large [moose](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moose \"Moose\") with his rifle, but cannot [preserve the meat](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Meat_preservation \"Meat preservation\") and it spoils within days. As his supplies dwindle, he realizes that nature can be harsh.\n\nMcCandless concludes that true happiness can be found only when shared with others, and he seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family. However, he finds that the [stream](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Teklanika_River \"Teklanika River\") he crossed during the winter has become wide, deep, and violent due to the thaw, and he is unable to cross. Defeated, he returns to the bus.\n\nIn a desperate act, McCandless gathers and eats roots and plants. He confuses similar plants and eats a [poisonous one](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poisonous_plant \"Poisonous plant\"), falling sick as a result. Slowly dying, he continues to document his process of self-realization, and imagines what it might have been like if he had managed to return to his family. He writes a farewell note to the world and crawls into his sleeping bag to die.\n\nTwo weeks later, moose [hunters](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hunters \"Hunters\") find his body. Shortly afterwards, Carine returns to Virginia with her brother's ashes in her backpack.\n\n## Cast\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Into_the_Wild_\$film\$&action=edit&section=4 \"Edit section: Cast\")\\]\n\n- [Emile Hirsch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emile_Hirsch \"Emile Hirsch\") as [Chris McCandless](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chris_McCandless \"Chris McCandless\") a.k.a.

It is an adaptation of [the 1996 non-fiction book](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Into_the_Wild_\$Krakauer_book\$ \"Into the Wild (Krakauer book)\") written by [Jon Krakauer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jon_Krakauer \"Jon Krakauer\") and tells the story of [Christopher McCandless](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chris_McCandless \"Chris McCandless\") (\"Alexander [Supertramp](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tramp \"Tramp\")\"), a man who hiked across [North America](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/North_America \"North America\") into the [Alaskan wilderness](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Interior_Alaska \"Interior Alaska\") in the early 1990s. The film stars [Emile Hirsch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emile_Hirsch \"Emile Hirsch\") as McCandless, [Hal Holbrook](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hal_Holbrook \"Hal Holbrook\"), and [Catherine Keener](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Catherine_Keener \"Catherine Keener\").\n\nThe film premiered during the 2007 [Rome Film Fest](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rome_Film_Fest \"Rome Film Fest\") and opened outside [Fairbanks, Alaska](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fairbanks,_Alaska \"Fairbanks, Alaska\"), on September 21, 2007.\n\nIn April 1992, [Chris McCandless](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chris_McCandless \"Chris McCandless\") arrives in a remote area called [Healy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Healy,_Alaska \"Healy, Alaska\"), just north of [Denali National Park and Preserve](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Denali_National_Park_and_Preserve \"Denali National Park and Preserve\") in [Alaska](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alaska \"Alaska\"). Noting McCandless's unpreparedness, the man who drops him off gives him [gumboots](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gumboots \"Gumboots\").\n\nMcCandless sets up camp in an [abandoned city bus](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stampede_Trail#Bus_142 \"Stampede Trail\") that he calls \"The Magic Bus\". He is content with the isolation, the beauty of nature, and the thrill of living off the land. He hunts with a [.22 rifle](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/.22_rifle \".22 rifle\"), reads books, and keeps a journal as he prepares his new life in the wild.\n\nIn May 1990, McCandless graduates with high honors from [Emory University](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emory_University \"Emory University\"). He is disenchanted with modern society after discovering he and his sister Carine were born out of wedlock.\n\nMcCandless destroys his credit cards and identification, donates his savings to [Oxfam](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Oxfam \"Oxfam\") and sets out on a cross-country drive in his [Datsun 210](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nissan_Sunny#B210_\$1973%E2%80%931977\$ \"Nissan Sunny\") to experience life in the wilderness. He does not tell his parents or Carine what he is doing or where he is going and does not contact them after his departure. This causes his parents to become increasingly anxious.\n\nAt [Lake Mead](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lake_Mead \"Lake Mead\"), McCandless's car is caught in a flash flood; he abandons it and begins [hitchhiking](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hitchhiking \"Hitchhiking\"). Burning what remains of his cash, he assumes the name \"Alexander Supertramp\". In [Northern California](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Northern_California \"Northern California\"), McCandless encounters [hippie](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hippie \"Hippie\") couple Jan and Rainey. Rainey tells him his relationship with Jan is failing, which McCandless helps rekindle.\n\nIn September, McCandless arrives in [Carthage, South Dakota](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carthage,_South_Dakota \"Carthage, South Dakota\"), and works for a contract harvesting company owned by Wayne Westerberg. He leaves after Westerberg is arrested for [satellite piracy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Satellite_piracy \"Satellite piracy\").\n\nMcCandless kayaks down the [Colorado River](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colorado_River \"Colorado River\") and, though told by park rangers he may not do so without a license, ignores their warnings and goes downriver to Mexico. His kayak is lost in a dust storm, and he crosses back into the United States on foot. Unable to hitch a ride, he jumps on freight trains to [Los Angeles](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Los_Angeles \"Los Angeles\"). Not long after arriving, however, he starts feeling \"corrupted\" by modern civilization and leaves. He is forced to resume hitchhiking when [railroad police](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Railroad_police#United_States \"Railroad police\") catch and beat him.\n\nIn December 1991, McCandless arrives at [Slab City](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Slab_City,_California \"Slab City, California\"), in the [Imperial Valley](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Imperial_Valley \"Imperial Valley\"), and encounters Jan and Rainey again. He also meets Tracy Tatro, a teenage girl who shows interest in him, but he turns her down because she is a minor. After the holidays, McCandless continues heading for Alaska.\n\nOne month later, camping near [Salton City](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Salton_City,_California \"Salton City, California\"), McCandless meets Ron Franz, a retired widower who lost his family in a car accident while he was serving in the [United States Army](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Army \"United States Army\"). He leads a lonely life in a workshop as a leather worker. Franz teaches McCandless leatherwork, resulting in the making of a belt detailing his travels.\n\nAfter two months with Franz, McCandless decides to leave for Alaska. Franz gives McCandless his old camping and travel gear, along with an offer to adopt him as his grandchild. McCandless tells him they should discuss it after he returns from Alaska.\n\nFour months later, at the abandoned bus, life for McCandless becomes harder, and he makes several poor decisions. Trying to live off the land, he hunts down a large [moose](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moose \"Moose\") with his rifle, but cannot [preserve the meat](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Meat_preservation \"Meat preservation\") and it spoils within days. As his supplies dwindle, he realizes that nature can be harsh.\n\nMcCandless concludes that true happiness can be found only when shared with others, and he seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family. However, he finds that the [stream](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Teklanika_River \"Teklanika River\") he crossed during the winter has become wide, deep, and violent due to the thaw, and he is unable to cross. Defeated, he returns to the bus.\n\nIn a desperate act, McCandless gathers and eats roots and plants. He confuses similar plants and eats a [poisonous one](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poisonous_plant \"Poisonous plant\"), falling sick as a result. Slowly dying, he continues to document his process of self-realization, and imagines what it might have been like if he had managed to return to his family. He writes a farewell note to the world and crawls into his sleeping bag to die.\n\nTwo weeks later, moose [hunters](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hunters \"Hunters\") find his body. Shortly afterwards, Carine returns to Virginia with her brother's ashes in her backpack.\n\n- [Emile Hirsch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emile_Hirsch \"Emile Hirsch\") as [Chris McCandless](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chris_McCandless \"Chris McCandless\") a.k.a.

The music at the end of the theatrical trailer is \"Acts of Courage\" by [X-Ray Dog](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/X-Ray_Dog \"X-Ray Dog\"), a company that supplies music for many movie trailers. Eddie Vedder said that while writing the songs on the album \"I spent three days giving him (Sean Penn) colors that I could paint with. Different sounds. It would be pump organ and vocal, or it would be an uptempo song. I just gave him 25 minutes of music, stuff I felt that were colors on the palette. And I really didn't think anything was gonna come out of it. Maybe a little piece or something\".[\\[30\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Into_the_Wild_\$film\$#cite_note-30)\n\nThe abandoned and decaying bus on the [Stampede Trail](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stampede_Trail \"Stampede Trail\") where McCandless died became a pilgrimage destination for fans. In the 1940s, a road crew had taken the bus to a remote trail in [Denali Borough, Alaska](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Denali_Borough,_Alaska \"Denali Borough, Alaska\"), 30 miles (50 km) from the nearest town, according to Denali Borough Mayor Clay Walker. Visitors had to cross the dangerous [Teklanika River](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Teklanika_River \"Teklanika River\"). In 2010, a Swiss woman drowned.[\\[31\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Into_the_Wild_\$film\$#cite_note-31) In 2019, a newlywed Belarusian woman drowned in the swollen river on her way to the site. Five Italians were rescued in February 2020, with one suffering from severe frostbite, and a stranded Brazilian was rescued in April 2020. In total, 15 search and rescue operations for visitors were carried out between 2009 and 2017.\n\nOn June 18, 2020, the bus was removed due to public safety concerns.

Dierker Vince Vaughn Zach Galifianakis Kristen Stewart Hal Holbrook Cinematography Eric Gautier Edited by Jay Cassidy Music by Michael Brook Kaki King Eddie Vedder Production companies Paramount Vantage [ 1 ] River Road Entertainment [ 1 ] Square One C.I.H. [ 1 ] Linson Film [ 1 ] Distributed by Paramount Vantage [ 1 ] Release date September 21, 2007 Running time 148 minutes [ 2 ] Country United States Language English Budget $20 million [ 3 ] Box office $56.8 million [ 3 ] Into the Wild is a 2007 American biographical adventure drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Sean Penn . It is an adaptation of the 1996 non-fiction book written by Jon Krakauer and tells the story of Christopher McCandless ("Alexander Supertramp "), a man who hiked across North America into the Alaskan wilderness in the early 1990s. The film stars Emile Hirsch as McCandless, Hal Holbrook , and Catherine Keener . The film premiered during the 2007 Rome Film Fest and opened outside Fairbanks, Alaska , on September 21, 2007. In April 1992, Chris McCandless arrives in a remote area called Healy , just north of Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska . Noting McCandless's unpreparedness, the man who drops him off gives him gumboots . McCandless sets up camp in an abandoned city bus that he calls "The Magic Bus". He is content with the isolation, the beauty of nature, and the thrill of living off the land. He hunts with a .22 rifle , reads books, and keeps a journal as he prepares his new life in the wild. In May 1990, McCandless graduates with high honors from Emory University . He is disenchanted with modern society after discovering he and his sister Carine were born out of wedlock. McCandless destroys his credit cards and identification, donates his savings to Oxfam and sets out on a cross-country drive in his Datsun 210 to experience life in the wilderness. He does not tell his parents or Carine what he is doing or where he is going and does not contact them after his departure. This causes his parents to become increasingly anxious. At Lake Mead , McCandless's car is caught in a flash flood; he abandons it and begins hitchhiking . Burning what remains of his cash, he assumes the name "Alexander Supertramp". In Northern California , McCandless encounters hippie couple Jan and Rainey. Rainey tells him his relationship with Jan is failing, which McCandless helps rekindle. In September, McCandless arrives in Carthage, South Dakota , and works for a contract harvesting company owned by Wayne Westerberg. He leaves after Westerberg is arrested for satellite piracy . McCandless kayaks down the Colorado River and, though told by park rangers he may not do so without a license, ignores their warnings and goes downriver to Mexico. His kayak is lost in a dust storm, and he crosses back into the United States on foot. Unable to hitch a ride, he jumps on freight trains to Los Angeles . Not long after arriving, however, he starts feeling "corrupted" by modern civilization and leaves. He is forced to resume hitchhiking when railroad police catch and beat him. In December 1991, McCandless arrives at Slab City , in the Imperial Valley , and encounters Jan and Rainey again. He also meets Tracy Tatro, a teenage girl who shows interest in him, but he turns her down because she is a minor. After the holidays, McCandless continues heading for Alaska. One month later, camping near Salton City , McCandless meets Ron Franz, a retired widower who lost his family in a car accident while he was serving in the United States Army . He leads a lonely life in a workshop as a leather worker. Franz teaches McCandless leatherwork, resulting in the making of a belt detailing his travels. After two months with Franz, McCandless decides to leave for Alaska. Franz gives McCandless his old camping and travel gear, along with an offer to adopt him as his grandchild. McCandless tells him they should discuss it after he returns from Alaska. Four months later, at the abandoned bus, life for McCandless becomes harder, and he makes several poor decisions. Trying to live off the land, he hunts down a large moose with his rifle, but cannot preserve the meat and it spoils within days. As his supplies dwindle, he realizes that nature can be harsh. McCandless concludes that true happiness can be found only when shared with others, and he seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family. However, he finds that the stream he crossed during the winter has become wide, deep, and violent due to the thaw, and he is unable to cross. Defeated, he returns to the bus. In a desperate act, McCandless gathers and eats roots and plants. He confuses similar plants and eats a poisonous one , falling sick as a result. Slowly dying, he continues to document his process of self-realization, and imagines what it might have been like if he had managed to return to his family. He writes a farewell note to the world and crawls into his sleeping bag to die. Two weeks later, moose hunters find his body. Shortly afterwards, Carine returns to Virginia with her brother's ashes in her backpack. Emile Hirsch as Chris McCandless a.k.a. Alexander Supertramp Marcia Gay Harden as Billie McCandless William Hurt as Walt McCandless Jena Malone as Carine McCandless Catherine Keener as Jan Burres Brian H. Dierker as Rainey Hal Holbrook as Ron Franz Kristen Stewart as Tracy Tatro Vince Vaughn as Wayne Westerberg Zach Galifianakis as Kevin Thure Lindhardt as Mads Signe Egholm Olsen as Sonja Merritt Wever as Lori Jim Gallien as Himself: Gallien is the truck driver who drove the real McCandless to Stampede Trail , and was the last person to see him alive. [ 4 ] Leonard Knight as Himself R. D. Call as Bull Cheryl Harrington as social worker Bart the Bear 2 as The Bear The scenes of graduation from Emory University in the film were shot in late 2006 on the front lawn of Reed College . Some of the graduation scenes were also filmed during the actual Emory University graduation on May 15, 2006. [ 5 ] The Alaska scenes depicting the area around the abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail were filmed 50 miles (80 km) south of where McCandless actually died, in the tiny town of Cantwell . Filming at the actual bus would have been too remote for the technical demands of a movie shoot. [ 6 ] A replica bus used in the movie is now a tourist attraction at a restaurant in Healy, Alaska . [ 7 ] Brian Dierker, who plays a major supporting role in the film as Rainey, had no previous acting experience and became involved in the production to be a guide for the rafting scenes. [ 8 ] The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 83% of 200 reviews of the film were positive, with an average rating of 7.50/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "With his sturdy cast and confident direction, Sean Penn has turned a complex work of nonfiction like Into the Wild into an accessible and poignant character study." [ 9 ] Metacritic assigned the film an average score of 73 out of 100 based on 38 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. [ 10 ] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four stars out of four and described it as "spellbinding". Ebert wrote that Emile Hirsch gives a "hypnotic performance", commenting: "It is great acting, and more than acting." Ebert added, "The movie is so good partly because it means so much, I think, to its writer-director, Sean Penn." [ 11 ] It received critical acclaim and grossed $56 million worldwide. It was nominated for two Golden Globes and won the award for Best Original Song : " Guaranteed " by Eddie Vedder . It was also nominated for two Academy Awards : Best Editing and Best Supporting Actor for Holbrook. [ 12 ] The American Film Institute listed the film as one of ten AFI Movies of the Year for 2007 . [ 15 ] [ 16 ] National Board of Review named it one of the Top Ten Films of the Year. [ 17 ] Into the Wild also ranks 473rd in Empire magazine 's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time. [ 18 ] The film appeared on many critics' top ten lists of the best films of 2007.

For the next several weeks, the film remained in limited release until it expanded to over 600 theaters on October 19, 2007; in its first weekend of wide release, the film grossed just $2.1 million for a per-theater average of $3,249. As of December 25, 2008, the film grossed $18,354,356 domestically and $37,281,398 internationally. In total, the film grossed $55,635,754 worldwide. [ 24 ] Into the Wild was released on March 4, 2008, on standard DVD , [ 25 ] Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition DVD, [ 26 ] and standard HD DVD . [ 27 ] The special edition DVD and HD DVD contain two special features entitled The Story, The Characters and The Experience . The Blu-ray Disc edition was released in France on July 16, 2008. [ 28 ] The Blu-ray edition for the US was released on December 16, 2008. [ 29 ] The songs on the soundtrack were performed by Eddie Vedder , lead singer of Pearl Jam , and Jerry Hannan. Vedder won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for the song " Guaranteed ". The score was written and performed by Michael Brook and Kaki King . The music at the end of the theatrical trailer is "Acts of Courage" by X-Ray Dog , a company that supplies music for many movie trailers. Eddie Vedder said that while writing the songs on the album "I spent three days giving him (Sean Penn) colors that I could paint with. Different sounds. It would be pump organ and vocal, or it would be an uptempo song. I just gave him 25 minutes of music, stuff I felt that were colors on the palette. And I really didn't think anything was gonna come out of it. Maybe a little piece or something". [ 30 ] The abandoned and decaying bus on the Stampede Trail where McCandless died became a pilgrimage destination for fans. In the 1940s, a road crew had taken the bus to a remote trail in Denali Borough, Alaska , 30 miles (50 km) from the nearest town, according to Denali Borough Mayor Clay Walker. Visitors had to cross the dangerous Teklanika River . In 2010, a Swiss woman drowned. [ 31 ] In 2019, a newlywed Belarusian woman drowned in the swollen river on her way to the site. Five Italians were rescued in February 2020, with one suffering from severe frostbite, and a stranded Brazilian was rescued in April 2020. In total, 15 search and rescue operations for visitors were carried out between 2009 and 2017. On June 18, 2020, the bus was removed due to public safety concerns. It was air-lifted by a US Army Chinook helicopter to an undisclosed location pending a decision about its final destination. [ 32 ] [ 33 ] On September 24, 2020, the Museum of The North [ 34 ] at the University of Alaska ( Fairbanks ) announced that it had become the permanent home of Magic Bus 142, to be restored for an outdoor exhibit.

It is an adaptation of [the 1996 non-fiction book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Wild_$Krakauer_book$ "Into the Wild (Krakauer book)") written by [Jon Krakauer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Krakauer "Jon Krakauer") and tells the story of [Christopher McCandless](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_McCandless "Chris McCandless") ("Alexander [Supertramp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramp "Tramp")"), a man who hiked across [North America](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America "North America") into the [Alaskan wilderness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_Alaska "Interior Alaska") in the early 1990s. The film stars [Emile Hirsch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emile_Hirsch "Emile Hirsch") as McCandless, [Hal Holbrook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Holbrook "Hal Holbrook"), and [Catherine Keener](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Keener "Catherine Keener"). The film premiered during the 2007 [Rome Film Fest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Film_Fest "Rome Film Fest") and opened outside [Fairbanks, Alaska](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairbanks,_Alaska "Fairbanks, Alaska"), on September 21, 2007. ## Plot \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Into_the_Wild_$film$&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Plot")\] In April 1992, [Chris McCandless](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_McCandless "Chris McCandless") arrives in a remote area called [Healy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healy,_Alaska "Healy, Alaska"), just north of [Denali National Park and Preserve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denali_National_Park_and_Preserve "Denali National Park and Preserve") in [Alaska](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska "Alaska"). Noting McCandless's unpreparedness, the man who drops him off gives him [gumboots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumboots "Gumboots"). McCandless sets up camp in an [abandoned city bus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stampede_Trail#Bus_142 "Stampede Trail") that he calls "The Magic Bus". He is content with the isolation, the beauty of nature, and the thrill of living off the land. He hunts with a [.22 rifle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_rifle ".22 rifle"), reads books, and keeps a journal as he prepares his new life in the wild. ### Flashback \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Into_the_Wild_$film$&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Flashback")\] In May 1990, McCandless graduates with high honors from [Emory University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emory_University "Emory University"). He is disenchanted with modern society after discovering he and his sister Carine were born out of wedlock. McCandless destroys his credit cards and identification, donates his savings to [Oxfam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxfam "Oxfam") and sets out on a cross-country drive in his [Datsun 210](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Sunny#B210_$1973%E2%80%931977$ "Nissan Sunny") to experience life in the wilderness. He does not tell his parents or Carine what he is doing or where he is going and does not contact them after his departure. This causes his parents to become increasingly anxious. At [Lake Mead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Mead "Lake Mead"), McCandless's car is caught in a flash flood; he abandons it and begins [hitchhiking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiking "Hitchhiking"). Burning what remains of his cash, he assumes the name "Alexander Supertramp". In [Northern California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_California "Northern California"), McCandless encounters [hippie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippie "Hippie") couple Jan and Rainey. Rainey tells him his relationship with Jan is failing, which McCandless helps rekindle. In September, McCandless arrives in [Carthage, South Dakota](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage,_South_Dakota "Carthage, South Dakota"), and works for a contract harvesting company owned by Wayne Westerberg. He leaves after Westerberg is arrested for [satellite piracy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_piracy "Satellite piracy"). McCandless kayaks down the [Colorado River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River "Colorado River") and, though told by park rangers he may not do so without a license, ignores their warnings and goes downriver to Mexico. His kayak is lost in a dust storm, and he crosses back into the United States on foot. Unable to hitch a ride, he jumps on freight trains to [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles"). Not long after arriving, however, he starts feeling "corrupted" by modern civilization and leaves. He is forced to resume hitchhiking when [railroad police](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_police#United_States "Railroad police") catch and beat him. In December 1991, McCandless arrives at [Slab City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_City,_California "Slab City, California"), in the [Imperial Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Valley "Imperial Valley"), and encounters Jan and Rainey again. He also meets Tracy Tatro, a teenage girl who shows interest in him, but he turns her down because she is a minor. After the holidays, McCandless continues heading for Alaska. One month later, camping near [Salton City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_City,_California "Salton City, California"), McCandless meets Ron Franz, a retired widower who lost his family in a car accident while he was serving in the [United States Army](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army "United States Army"). He leads a lonely life in a workshop as a leather worker. Franz teaches McCandless leatherwork, resulting in the making of a belt detailing his travels. After two months with Franz, McCandless decides to leave for Alaska. Franz gives McCandless his old camping and travel gear, along with an offer to adopt him as his grandchild. McCandless tells him they should discuss it after he returns from Alaska. ### Flashforward \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Into_the_Wild_$film$&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Flashforward")\] Four months later, at the abandoned bus, life for McCandless becomes harder, and he makes several poor decisions. Trying to live off the land, he hunts down a large [moose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose "Moose") with his rifle, but cannot [preserve the meat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_preservation "Meat preservation") and it spoils within days. As his supplies dwindle, he realizes that nature can be harsh. McCandless concludes that true happiness can be found only when shared with others, and he seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family. However, he finds that the [stream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teklanika_River "Teklanika River") he crossed during the winter has become wide, deep, and violent due to the thaw, and he is unable to cross. Defeated, he returns to the bus. In a desperate act, McCandless gathers and eats roots and plants. He confuses similar plants and eats a [poisonous one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisonous_plant "Poisonous plant"), falling sick as a result. Slowly dying, he continues to document his process of self-realization, and imagines what it might have been like if he had managed to return to his family. He writes a farewell note to the world and crawls into his sleeping bag to die. Two weeks later, moose [hunters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunters "Hunters") find his body.

It is an adaptation of [the 1996 non-fiction book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Wild_$Krakauer_book$ "Into the Wild (Krakauer book)") written by [Jon Krakauer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Krakauer "Jon Krakauer") and tells the story of [Christopher McCandless](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_McCandless "Chris McCandless") ("Alexander [Supertramp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramp "Tramp")"), a man who hiked across [North America](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America "North America") into the [Alaskan wilderness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_Alaska "Interior Alaska") in the early 1990s. The film stars [Emile Hirsch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emile_Hirsch "Emile Hirsch") as McCandless, [Hal Holbrook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Holbrook "Hal Holbrook"), and [Catherine Keener](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Keener "Catherine Keener"). The film premiered during the 2007 [Rome Film Fest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Film_Fest "Rome Film Fest") and opened outside [Fairbanks, Alaska](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairbanks,_Alaska "Fairbanks, Alaska"), on September 21, 2007. In April 1992, [Chris McCandless](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_McCandless "Chris McCandless") arrives in a remote area called [Healy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healy,_Alaska "Healy, Alaska"), just north of [Denali National Park and Preserve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denali_National_Park_and_Preserve "Denali National Park and Preserve") in [Alaska](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska "Alaska"). Noting McCandless's unpreparedness, the man who drops him off gives him [gumboots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumboots "Gumboots"). McCandless sets up camp in an [abandoned city bus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stampede_Trail#Bus_142 "Stampede Trail") that he calls "The Magic Bus". He is content with the isolation, the beauty of nature, and the thrill of living off the land. He hunts with a [.22 rifle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_rifle ".22 rifle"), reads books, and keeps a journal as he prepares his new life in the wild. In May 1990, McCandless graduates with high honors from [Emory University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emory_University "Emory University"). He is disenchanted with modern society after discovering he and his sister Carine were born out of wedlock. McCandless destroys his credit cards and identification, donates his savings to [Oxfam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxfam "Oxfam") and sets out on a cross-country drive in his [Datsun 210](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Sunny#B210_$1973%E2%80%931977$ "Nissan Sunny") to experience life in the wilderness. He does not tell his parents or Carine what he is doing or where he is going and does not contact them after his departure. This causes his parents to become increasingly anxious. At [Lake Mead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Mead "Lake Mead"), McCandless's car is caught in a flash flood; he abandons it and begins [hitchhiking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiking "Hitchhiking"). Burning what remains of his cash, he assumes the name "Alexander Supertramp". In [Northern California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_California "Northern California"), McCandless encounters [hippie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippie "Hippie") couple Jan and Rainey. Rainey tells him his relationship with Jan is failing, which McCandless helps rekindle. In September, McCandless arrives in [Carthage, South Dakota](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage,_South_Dakota "Carthage, South Dakota"), and works for a contract harvesting company owned by Wayne Westerberg. He leaves after Westerberg is arrested for [satellite piracy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_piracy "Satellite piracy"). McCandless kayaks down the [Colorado River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River "Colorado River") and, though told by park rangers he may not do so without a license, ignores their warnings and goes downriver to Mexico. His kayak is lost in a dust storm, and he crosses back into the United States on foot. Unable to hitch a ride, he jumps on freight trains to [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles"). Not long after arriving, however, he starts feeling "corrupted" by modern civilization and leaves. He is forced to resume hitchhiking when [railroad police](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_police#United_States "Railroad police") catch and beat him. In December 1991, McCandless arrives at [Slab City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_City,_California "Slab City, California"), in the [Imperial Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Valley "Imperial Valley"), and encounters Jan and Rainey again. He also meets Tracy Tatro, a teenage girl who shows interest in him, but he turns her down because she is a minor. After the holidays, McCandless continues heading for Alaska. One month later, camping near [Salton City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_City,_California "Salton City, California"), McCandless meets Ron Franz, a retired widower who lost his family in a car accident while he was serving in the [United States Army](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army "United States Army"). He leads a lonely life in a workshop as a leather worker. Franz teaches McCandless leatherwork, resulting in the making of a belt detailing his travels. After two months with Franz, McCandless decides to leave for Alaska. Franz gives McCandless his old camping and travel gear, along with an offer to adopt him as his grandchild. McCandless tells him they should discuss it after he returns from Alaska. Four months later, at the abandoned bus, life for McCandless becomes harder, and he makes several poor decisions. Trying to live off the land, he hunts down a large [moose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose "Moose") with his rifle, but cannot [preserve the meat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_preservation "Meat preservation") and it spoils within days. As his supplies dwindle, he realizes that nature can be harsh. McCandless concludes that true happiness can be found only when shared with others, and he seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family. However, he finds that the [stream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teklanika_River "Teklanika River") he crossed during the winter has become wide, deep, and violent due to the thaw, and he is unable to cross. Defeated, he returns to the bus. In a desperate act, McCandless gathers and eats roots and plants. He confuses similar plants and eats a [poisonous one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisonous_plant "Poisonous plant"), falling sick as a result. Slowly dying, he continues to document his process of self-realization, and imagines what it might have been like if he had managed to return to his family. He writes a farewell note to the world and crawls into his sleeping bag to die. Two weeks later, moose [hunters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunters "Hunters") find his body.
