In the early 1800s, a group of fur trappers and Indian traders are returning with their goods to civilization and are making a desperate attempt to beat the oncoming winter.

When he recovers instead, he swears revenge on them and tracks them and their paranoiac expedition leader down.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director bets on details: a gesture, a glance, a pause. In a good drama this is what says the most — and that principle is upheld here.

Worth watching if you're in the mood for serious cinema. Not background viewing — it demands attention.

For viewers who can watch slow cinema and value the human element in stories.

Director: Richard C. Sarafian

Viewing atmosphere: In quiet, in the evening. Better alone or with someone who watches films seriously.
