//Director:// Sean Penn // Writers // : Sean Penn of screenplay and Jon Krakauer of the novel.

How long do you think you could survive in the wilderness all by yourself? I bet you wouldn’t make such a decision by choice.

'Into the Wild', written by director Sean Penn, stars Emile Hirsch as Christopher McCandless, a 23 year old graduate of Emory University. Based on a true story set in the 1990s, Chris is disgusted by the material obsession around him, so he abandons everything he has and sets off for “a great Alaskan adventure”.

During his adventure, he meets people who he considers his real family and who have changed his life. Stubborn to continue his dream of living on his own in the wild, Chris, also known as Alexander Supertramp, sets off to find the true meaning of beauty; no matter what the cost.

Through struggle and profound realization, 'Into the Wild' takes you on the adventure of a lifetime. Inspirational ambition will make you wonder if you know the meaning of true beauty.
