This document provides a summary of the film "Into the Wild" based on the true story of Christopher McCandless. It discusses how McCandless graduated from university but rejected modern society to live off the land in Alaska. He destroyed his credit cards and gave his money to charity in search of ultimate freedom and independence. While in Alaska, he lived alone in the wilderness and kept a journal. In April 1992, he hitchhiked to Alaska where he was last seen alive on April 28 before apparently starving to death after ingesting toxic seeds. The film had a profound impact on viewers and inspired many youth to appreciate nature.
