Dir: Sean Penn USA 2007 148 mins 15A

Telling the true story of ill-fated adventurer Christopher McCandless, Into The Wild plays like a haunting postcard from the great beyond. Sean Penn adapted the book by Jon Krakauer and directs the film, which backtracks through the winding highways and side roads that led McCandless to his untimely demise in the Alaskan wilderness. Playing the lead, Emile Hirsch captures all of the arrogance, integrity, naiveté and charm of this complex, troubled young man.
