First feature film on John Muir
The American myth begins with the frontier, and the American hero begins with John Muir.
When was the last time Hollywood put a real hero on the screen?
John Muir had a nobility of purpose, a keenness of mind and physical courage unequaled in American history. He fathered the modern conservation movement and explained how glaciation formed the Yosemite valley. He was an inventor of genius who once built, out of the parts of an old wagon, a huge thermometer that was so sensitive it registered your body heat as you approached it. He even saved a man from sliding off a 1000-foot cliff by lifting him up with his teeth.
Americans yearn for a genuine hero. They need look no further than the young John Muir.
