As he struggles to make it in the harsh surroundings, he comes to the conclusion that the caribous' worst enemies are not the wolves at all. Hiro Narita's cinematography is spectacular, and the evocative sound was nominated for an Academy Award.

    My parents dragged me, kicking and screaming, to this movie when it first came out. It was weird! This guy kept chasing reindeer around - NAKED!! EW! I was 10! I didn't want to see an old guy's butt! I do not remember this fondly!

    I remember watching this film in Social Studies class when I was eight years old. It made quite the impact. Seeing it today, its strengths are its visuals and subtle storytelling methods. Brave performance from Smith. Curtis Hanson helped pen this script too. Ballard receive some attention for his direction and has been observing animals ever since.

    This is the one movie I would take to a deserted island... with a DVD player and electricity, of course.

    Grew up watching this movie with my uncle. It's a great story of man trying to find answers and surving the elements. Charles Martin Smith is great.

    I was inspired by this story, even though i doubt i could do so well on my own in the Alskan wilderness. It's a great reminder to us all that, despite the roads and commercial buildings and malls, we- humans, people, whatever you like to call us- are and have always been a part of the natural world.

    HAHA I've seen it...Its pretty strange. He is studying wolves, eats mice, and pretty much runs two miles naked....But either way I'm watching it in class, and its boring.

    Reading Farley Mowat is better than watching films based on his books, but the films are still pretty darn good.

    surprisingly good. Couldve followed the book a little more, but got the point across. The mouse eating scene was great.

    Maybe I've set the rate just a liittle to high, but it is really beautiful and enjoyable, and even if the movie - or/and the rate - would have been a little bit worse, there still are some moments in this pic that are worth waiting for.. :)

    I thought this movie was hilarious, with some fantastic photography and good likeable acting. Still one of my all-time favorites. It's one-of-a-kind. If you like this one, try:

    This is a wonderful film. Farley Mowat is a great writer; i'm waiting to see an adaptation of "The Dog That Wouldn't Be". (Hopefully NOT done by Disney!)

    Hahaha I was kind of curious to see if this was actually listed as a "movie." I just finished watching it in science class today. It's very... scientific. Unanswered questions at the end, but apparently my teacher knows everything. Anyway, this biologist is CRAZY. UBER NUTS, I'm telling you. And I don't particularly enjoy seeing his white bum. Or watching him eat hairy mice.

    But I will say that for this type of movie, whatever THAT is, it was well done. I mean, it was interesting enough to keep me awake, and that is not often easy to do durring my morning classes.
