While exploring the uncharted wilderness in 1823, frontiersman Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) sustains life-threatening injuries from a brutal bear attack. When a member (Tom Hardy) of his hunting team kills his young son (Forrest Goodluck) and leaves him for dead, Glass must utilize his survival skills to find a way back to civilization. Grief-stricken and fueled by vengeance, the legendary fur trapper treks through the snowy terrain to track down the man who betrayed him.

Critics Consensus

As starkly beautiful as it is harshly uncompromising, The Revenant uses Leonardo DiCaprio's committed performance as fuel for an absorbing drama that offers punishing challenges -- and rich rewards.

Ultimately, The Revenant suggests no deeper or more nuanced truths than a medieval morality play.

Iñárritu continues move away from his earlier work, which I still prefer, to bring a more Hollywood-digestible tale like this one that blends themes of spirituality, primal instinct and humanity.

As a feat of filmmaking chutzpah, it's one of 2015's most intriguing offerings.

The Revenant is not merely a performance, a survival story, or a technical marvel – it is a testament to what fearless, committed filmmaking can achieve.

This film plunges its serrated edge of grit, snow, blood, and dirt into your chest for 156 arm-rest-clenching minutes.

What is important is that he beautifully represents these ideas of mercy and faith in a way that I found profound and satisfying.
