Northwest Montana History Museum Movie Night "Jeremiah Johnson" (1972)
Tuesday, January 26, 2027 (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM) (MST)
Description
Mexican American War veteran Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford) is desperate for a new life after the war and escapes to the Rocky Mountains to become a mountain man, making a living off trapping and foraging.
After an encounter with the elderly and eccentric Chris Lapp (Will Geer), nicknamed “Bear Claw,” Johnson learns to survive the harsh wilderness while encountering the members of the Crow, Blackfoot, and Flathead tribes. Can a man really survive in such a vast and cold land alone?
Jeremiah Johnson was directed by Sydney Pollack, based partially on the life of Jeremiah Johnson recounted in Raymond Thorp and Robert Bunker’s book Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson and Vardis Fisher’s 1965 novel Mountain Man.
