Into the Wild

Based on a true story of one young man's tragic ''return to nature''.

After graduating from Emory University in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness.

Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.
