In the early 1820s, a [[HunterTrapper fur-trapping expedition]] is attacked by Ree (Arikara) Native Americans when they are only days away from returning to their base of operations with a fortune in furs. Escaping with only a fraction of their original numbers, their frontiersman and guide Hugh Glass (Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio) decides that their best chance of survival will be to abandon their boat and travel overland to reach safety. On the way, Glass is brutally attacked by a bear while on a hunting foray, and he is left behind with his son Hawk (Forest Goodluck) and two members of the party to expire and be properly buried without slowing down the rest of the escape. John Fitzgerald (Creator/TomHardy), deciding that it is too dangerous to wait even for Glass to die, kills his son and convinces Jim Bridger (Will Poulter) that the Ree are coming for them directly. He drags the still-living Glass into a grave--for the 'burial'--and then leaves him for dead. Glass is able to survive [[{{Determinator}} through sheer force of will]], and makes his arduous way back to their fort on a quest for justice, revenge, and redemption.
