In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself.

En abril de 1992, Chris McCandless, de 24 años, se internó solo y apenas equipado en tierras de Alaska. Había regalado todo su dinero y abandonado su coche, y soñaba con una vida en estado salvaje. Cuatro meses más tarde, unos cazadores encontraron su cuerpo sin vida. Su historia, difundida en un reportaje de Jon Krakauer, suscitó una agitada polémica, para unos, era un intrépido idealista; para otros, un loco y un ingenuo sin el menor conocimiento de la naturaleza. 

Il avait renoncé au rêve américain. Pour vivre une aventure extrême. Livre-culte dans le monde entier, Into the Wild a été magistralement porté à l'écran par Sean Penn. Toujours plus loin. Toujours plus seul. Inspiré par ses lectures de Tolstoï et de Thoreau, Christopher McCandless a tout sacrifié à son idéal de pureté et de nature. Après deux années d'errance sur les routes du Sud et de l'Ouest américain, il rencontre son destin (à vingt-quatre ans) au cœur des forêts de l'Alaska. Un parcours telle une étoile filante dans la nuit froide du Grand Nord.
