 Here the plot i found on IMDB about “Into the wild”  movie

  A young man leaves his middle class existence in pursuit of freedom from relationships and obligation. Giving up his home, family, all possessions but the few he carried on his back and donating all his savings to charity Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) embarks on a journey throughout America. His eventual aim is to travel into Alaska, into the wild, to spend time with nature, with ‘real’ existence, away from the trappings of the modern world. In the 20 months leading up to his Great Alaskan Adventure his travels lead him on a path of self-discovery, to examine and appreciate the world around him and to reflect on and heal from his troubled childhood and parents’ sordid and abusive relationship. When he reaches Alaska he finds he has been insufficiently prepared for the hardships to come. Despite making it through the winter his plan is ill-judged and prepares to return home in spring, only to find the stream he crossed in the snow has become an impassable raging torrent and that he is trapped. With no means of sustaining himself adequately he eventually starves to death in his so sought after isolation. Throughout his epic journey the people he meets both influence and are influenced by the person he is and bring him to the eventual and tragic realisation that “Happiness is only real when shared”.

Actually, he did not live through the winter here in Alaska. He set out on the trail in April and died in August. In winter the trail he walked in on is covered with many feet of snow. He died during the summer, when the rivers are full of fish and the sun is always out. For anyone who wants to know what really happened just check out “The call of the Wild”, into the wild de-bunked. This is a good film that tells the truth. It appeared here in Alaska a few months ago and the real people in the film were in attendance. Chris McCandless did a lot of things that Sean Penn left out. Hollywood evidently sees what it wants to see.
