Imdb The Revenant
EPISODE 3: PLANET OF THE APES. In celebration of the 50th anniversary, host Anna Van Valin takes a look at the groundbreaking sci-fi film PLANET OF THE APES, and the legendary film franchise it.
I am still blown away. Imagine the scene: Sitges Fantastic Film Festival in Spain. Last weekend, with the Zombie Night Marathon, already a festival classic. And the first movie of the night is 'The Revennt'. Nobody knows what it's about.
Nobody knows a damn thing about it and the festival director introduces it as a long movie. OK, whatever, we'll sit through it. In these marathons people normally cheer, applaud, shout and whatnot. I never saw it done more than with this film. We were all laughing our guts out every five minutes with every new situation and scene. Damn, what a movie.
Talk about having fun in a movie theatre. The two main actors were superb, the storyline coherent, the situations hilarious and what's even bettr: at some points it has some sadness tones to it which makes it even a deeper, richer movie.

Just on ething: it was featured in the Zombie Night in the festival, but it is not a zombie movie in the classic sense of the word. Like a reviewer said before me, think the 'Deathdream' kind of zombie. I can only thank the director/writer for making this one. This has to become a cult classic, it has all the elements of dark humor (and the gore, too) that all the genre lovers like.
Contents. Plot In late 1823, guides Andrew Henry's through. While he and his half- son, Hawk, are hunting, the company's camp is attacked by an war party seeking to recover their Chief's abducted daughter. Guided by Glass, the survivors travel on foot to, as he believes traveling downriver will make them vulnerable. After docking, the crew stashes the pelts near the shore.
While scouting game, Glass is badly mauled by a and left near death. Trapper John Fitzgerald, fearful of another Arikara attack, argues that the group must Glass and keep moving. Henry agrees, but is unable to pull the trigger; instead, he offers money for someone to stay with Glass and bury him after his death. When the only volunteers are Hawk and the young, Fitzgerald agrees to stay for money, to recoup his losses from the abandoned pelts. After the others leave, Fitzgerald attempts to smother Glass but is discovered by Hawk.
Fitzgerald, concerned that Hawk's loud reaction to him attempting to kill Glass could alert the Arikara, stabs Hawk to death as Glass watches helplessly. The next morning, Fitzgerald convinces Bridger that the Arikara are approaching and they must abandon Glass. After they depart, Fitzgerald admits he lied. When Fitzgerald and Bridger meet Henry at the fort, Fitzgerald tells him that Glass died and Hawk vanished. In spite of his guilt, Bridger is complicit in the lie. Glass begins an arduous journey through the wilderness. He performs crude self-surgery and eludes the pursuing Arikara who are looking for the Chief Elk Dog's kidnapped daughter, Powaqa.
Glass encounters Pawnee refugee Hikuc, who says that 'revenge is in the Creator's hands.' The men share bison meat and travel together. After a hallucinogenic experience, Glass discovers Hikuc hanged by French hunters. He infiltrates their camp and sees the leader raping Powaqa. He frees her, kills two hunters, and recovers Hikuc's horse, leaving his own canteen behind.
The next morning, Glass is ambushed by the Arikara and driven over a cliff on his horse. He survives the stormy night by the horse and sheltering inside its carcass. A French survivor staggers into Fort Kiowa and Bridger recognizes his canteen as Glass's. Believing it stolen, Henry organizes a search party. Fitzgerald, realizing Glass is alive, empties the outpost's safe and flees. The search party finds the exhausted Glass. Enraged, Henry orders Bridger arrested, but Glass vouches that Bridger was deceived and reveals that Fitzgerald murdered Hawk.
Glass and Henry set out in pursuit of Fitzgerald. After the two split up, Fitzgerald ambushes, kills and scalps Henry. Glass uses Henry's corpse on his horse as a decoy and shoots Fitzgerald in the arm. He pursues Fitzgerald to a riverbank where they engage in a brutal fight.
