Death Hunt (1981) is a gripping action-thriller inspired by true events, set in the snowy wilderness of the Yukon in 1931. Charles Bronson stars as Albert Johnson, a reclusive trapper who becomes the target of a relentless manhunt after a violent confrontation with a group of hostile trappers.
The conflict begins when Johnson rescues an injured dog from a brutal dogfight, sparking anger among the locals. A deadly altercation ensues, and Johnson is falsely accused of murder. With a bounty placed on his head, a determined posse led by Sergeant Edgar Millen (Lee Marvin) sets out to capture him.
The film follows the intense chase as Johnson uses his survival skills to evade his pursuers, turning the snowy terrain into his ally. Millen, however, starts to sympathize with Johnson, questioning the motives and justice behind the hunt.
Blending raw action, moral complexity, and breathtaking landscapes, Death Hunt is a compelling story of survival, humanity, and the fight for justice in an unforgiving wilderness.
