Phil talks to Caleb about another Hollywood Hidden Gem: The Revenant is based on the true story of frontiersman Hugh Glass, who survived a brutal grizzly bear mauling in 1823 and crawled hundreds of miles to safety, but the film takes significant creative liberties, adding fictional elements like a son for dramatic effect. The core events—the bear attack, being left for dead by companions (John Fitzgerald and Jim Bridger), and his arduous journey for survival and revenge—are rooted in Glass's real-life legend, though embellished over time, While exploring the uncharted wilderness in 1823, frontiersman Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) sustains life-threatening injuries from a brutal bear attack. When a member (Tom Hardy) of his hunting team kills his young son (Forrest Goodluck) and leaves him for dead, Glass must utilize his survival skills to find a way back to civilization. Grief-stricken and fueled by vengeance, the legendary fur trapper treks through the snowy terrain to track down the man who betrayed him.
