The Revenant
When a group of Arikara Native Americans attacks a crew of fur trappers in the American frontier, Capt. Henry (Gleeson) orders the survivors to retreat down river in their boat. Their guide, an experienced outdoorsman named Hugh Glass (DiCaprio), recommends that they abandon the boat and set out for their fort on foot to try to evade another attack. But when he's mauled by a massive bear, Glass hovers on the edge of death, and fellow trapper John Fitzgerald (Hardy) argues for ending his life and moving on without him, something that Henry refuses to do.
