Synopsis: A fur trapper is left for dead by his colleagues when he is mauled almost to death by an angry bear.
Much of the publicity for The Revenant has focused on one of two things. First, there was the bizarre, and erroneous, reports that the film contained a scene of rape by a bear. More importantly, though, this will likely be the film that finally nets Leonardo DiCaprio his elusive Academy Award. With Birdman director Alejandro G. Iñárritu at the helm, this is a brutal tale of human survival against the forces of nature.
