The film takes place at the beginning of the XIX century. A group of hunters leads a harsh life in the zone of the new lands of the Wild West: hunting fur-bearing animals, they are daily exposed to danger from indigenous Indian tribes who set foot on the warpath after white people invaded their territory. But not only Indians are dangerous among the dense forests and merciless swamps. Experienced tracker Hugh Glass, during one of the reconnaissance sorties, encounters one-on-one with a ferocious grizzly and, having received severe injuries in the fight, finds himself near death. Instead of leaving a wounded comrade-in-arms, his companion John Fitzgerald, considering Glass to be nothing more than a burden in the current situation, decides to leave the unfortunate man to die among the forests. Dragging the wounded man to a pre-prepared pit, Fitzgerald kills his son, who tried to intercede for his father, after which, taking away the victim's personal belongings and gun, he leaves the poor guy to die slowly, having slightly estimated the ground for fidelity.
