The Revenant is a 2015 American Western action drama film directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The screenplay by Mark L.

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy.

Cheyenne River Indian Reservation is in South Dakota. Glass's survival journey did not take place in the cold season, nor did it involve tall mountain ranges.
Leonardo DiCaprio's performance was widely acclaimed and ultimately won him the Academy Award for Best Actor, the first of his career after five previous nominations.
