A Cry in the Wild

(1990)Directed by Mark Griffiths82 min · PGDrama, Family, Adventure

Brian (Jared Rushton) is thirteen and alone in the Yukon after the plane that carried him goes down, with nobody aware it was ever missing. Mark Griffiths follows him through the first days of finding food, building a shelter, and keeping clear of the hungry animals around him. Brian has a mother (Pamela Sue Martin) and a father (Stephen Meadows) far away, and what he holds onto is the idea that they are still waiting for him.
