Based on the bestselling non-fiction book by Jon Krakauer, Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) is a bright young man and a recent college graduate with a big, bold future ahead of him. However, in 1992, he gives away everything he owns including his life savings of $24,000 and decides to live off of the land in the wilderness. But his easy-going, carefree life gets a real shock when he decided to "rough it" in Alaska in the middle of winter without much more than the coat on his back and the boots on his feet.
