Co-written and directed by Academy Award-winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Birdman, Babel), The Revenant is a western adventure-thriller inspired by the life of frontiersman Hugh Glass. The screenplay by Mark L. Smith (Vacancy) and Iñárritu is loosely based Michael Punke’s 2002 novel of the same name.

On an 1823 expedition of the American wilderness, explorer and fur trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is mauled by a massive grizzly bear. Captain Andrew Henry (Domhnall Gleeson), the leader of the expedition, details two men, John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy) and Jim Bridger (Will Poulter), to stay with Glass and provide a proper burial once he passes.

20th Century Fox has released the official trailer for The Revenant, the latest film from Academy Award-winning Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and Babel director Alejandro González Iñárritu. A teaser trailer was released back in mid July, and we’ve seen some images also released.

The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio as explorer Hugh Glass as he fights to survive a harsh and unforgiving American wilderness after being left for dead. Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson, and Will Poulter also star.
