Given that The Revenant's subtitle is "A Novel of Revenge," it shouldn't be surprising that this thing is all about an unrelenting quest for vengeance. Basic stuff, right? After being nearly killed by a bear, Hugh Glass is left for dead by two of his former comrades. Bad move, guys—you'd be better off sticking your heads inside a lion's mouth. Although he can hardly walk, Glass sets out on an epic journey spanning hundreds of miles of wild American frontier with one, burning desire—to smite the poor fools who ever thought they could break Glass.
