A Cry In The Wild

Exhausted, young Brian Robeson pulls himself from a remote Canadian lake. The tiny plane he managed to steer this far lies under the icy water, its pilot felled by a heart attack. Somehow, Brian has survived. But gazing at the vast forest, he can't help wonder for how long. Jared Rushton (Big and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids) plays Brian, who must make the wilderness his home. Equipped with nothing more than a hatchet and his ingenuity, he must learn to survive.

Based on Gary Paulsen's Newbery Award-winning novel Hatchet and the recipient of several awards, A Cry In The Wild is a family adventure at it's most glorious and inspiring. With excellent support from Ned Beatty and Pamela Sue Martin, A Cry In The Wild towers like its majestic setting -- and like the indomitable will of its courageous young hero.
