Overview
Chris McCandless is a name that resonates with those looking to find the answers to everyday life in the boundless beauty and mystique of nature. And yet, his unfortunate death at age 24 proves that nature can never fully grant you everything you want.
Jon Krakauer looks into the strange yet inspiring existence of McCandless in Into the Wild (1996), from his comfortable, upper middle-class upbringing to his ultimately painful demise in the Alaskan wilderness.
