This is the story of Hugh Glass, one of the first mountain men. It is a dramatization of a classic story, true to the heroic spirit of the times. Hugh Glass was one of a small band of shaggy, undisciplined trappers and visionaries who crossed the wide Missouri in the early 1800s to open the trails to the west for the first settlers. Today, Hugh Glass has become a legend. The inspiration of a great American epic poem, and a central figure of a hundred folk tales of the mountain men.
