This movie is partly based on true events, and presents Richard Harris as a man left behind during a trapping expedition into the wilderness of untamed America in the early 1800s. He was mauled by a grizzly bear and left for dead by his companions. Using shear strength of will, and the heightened capacity to survive, he miraculously gathers enough strength to crawl, then limp, and finally walk back to his companions. We also see the Native Americans following him, the beautiful landscape, and the surprise ending.This is a beautiful movie about a real life event, superbly acted and directed, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who truly loves the outdoors and the spirit of adventure.I watched this movie again last night and I have more of an analysis of elements that make this movie great!. In the opening scenes we see a cross high up among the trees. Then we see that it is the main spar of a boat. It seems out of place in the wilderness in 1820. The boat is on a makeshift trailer being pulled by a mule team and it is filled with furs and pelts for a trapping and exploration party in the wilderness. The Grizzly Bear attacks Bass (Richard Harris) and Captain Henry (John Huston) patches him up and orders the men to leave him as he will most likely die. One of the trappers is a Native American and leaves a prayer and a prayer bag for Bass. So we have the cross and now the spirituality of the Native Americans competing with each other in the wilderness. Bass has many flashbacks were we find him in his youth, the death of his mother, and his stubbornness in school, especially concerning religion. When the master asks Bass who created the world, Bass would not answer, even when threatened with a stick wielded by the master. We now see his personal stubbornness. Perhaps the foundation for his willingness to survive through pure stubborn strength. So we have two competing religions in the wilderness, surrounded by the aura of Manifest Destiny exemplified by the boat that is purely out of place in the woods, and the Native Americans who are fascinated by the boat and follow it for miles.As Bass makes his recovery in the wilderness, he finds food, and traps animals to make clothing, and witness the attack on other trappers, and the birth of a child by a Native American family. This allows him time for introspection and eventually changes him from a person driven by revenge to a person who just wants to go home and find his son. This is evident when he finds an injured white rabbit and repairs its broken leg, and actually starts reading the Bible, which he carries with him.The final scene is an attack by the Native Americans on the boat in a muddy river bottom with a low flowing river. Bass emerges from the woods and heads towards the boat, he is intercepted by the Native Americans, and is attacked, but the chief recognizes him as the bear attack victim, and stops the battle. He approaches Bass and speaks some words about The Great Spirit and urges Bass to attack the people who left him to die. You'll have to see the outcome yourself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good movie *by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2024* Good story. Great acting. What else can you say ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Original "Th Revanent" *by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019* This movie came out in 1971, the year i graduated high school. I remember seeing it at the theater for the first time that year. I looked for it for years released on beta or VHS but could never find it available? Finally, it was released on Blue Ray! It's great movie, and not just for Richard Harris fans, as John Huston had a lot to do with this. Leonardo DiCaprio starred in the remake of this movie, and I don't think it was nearly as good as the original John Huston/Richard harris version. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/35410593-man-in-the-wilderness-1971](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/35410593-man-in-the-wilderness-1971) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
