Quote: "Happiness only real when shared."

One of the most underrated films of 2007 comes from a rising director and an amazing rising star. Based on true events, we follow the life of Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch), a bright boy going to Harvard and has everything going for him...except for the few, "small" divorce problems his parents are having. Deciding to step out of the box, Christopher burns all his cash and deletes his identity to go travel to Alaska and finally feel ALIVE, meeting amazing and real people along the way, Chris learns his life lesson...
