A preposterous wilderness adventure (the kind that makes kids think sneaking into the zoo's bear pit is a cool idea) laid over a touchy-feelie story about good parenting. The year is 1913 and young Harry (Daniel Clark) is still mourning the
death of his mother when he joins his estranged father (Bryan Brown) on a wilderness expedition in the wild Canadian west. Dad, a world famous adventurer who's been gallivanting all over the world when a
good father would have been at home bonding with his son, wants to capture a grizzly
bear and plans to stun the beast with newfangled tranquilizer darts. A bear is spotted, but things go terribly wrong and the hunters win...
