Full Plot Details

During the mid-nineteenth century, Jeremiah Johnson, after a stint in the US Army, decides that he would prefer a life of solitude and more importantly peace by living with nature in the mountains of the frontier of the American west. This plan entails finding a piece of land upon which to build a house. This quest ends up being not quite what he envisioned as he does require the assistance of others to find his footing, and in turn, he amasses friends and acquaintances along the way, some who become more a part of his life than he would have imagined. Perhaps most importantly, some of those people provide him with the knowledge of how to co-exist with some of the many Indian tribes, most importantly the Crow, on whose land in Colorado Jeremiah ultimately decides to build his home. But an act by Jeremiah upon a request by the US Cavalry leads to a chain of events that may forever change the peaceful relationship he worked so hard to achieve with his neighbors and their land.

Movie Reviews

Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marcel MeyerDirector Pollack and scriptwriter John Milius transform Vardis Fisher's novel Mountain Man into a gritty, cinematic tall tale that resonates across geography, time, and the loneliest regions of the solitary heart.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffDirector Sydney Pollack has given a skilled, observant mounting as he carefully allows the man to grow in experience and knowhow.
Empire - 8/10 by William ThomasPollack does right to put his faith in one man and a whole lot of mountains. The result is impressive.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Don DrukerThe dialogue is spare, the scenery the real star. Satisfying and impressive.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzBeautifully photographed in the remote mountains of Utah.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 8/10 by Tim BraytonShortcomings and all, a fascinating attempt to capture the soul of the Western and splash it out for all the world to see.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Roger GreenspunThere are momoments of great beauty and terror and deeply earned pathos. There are as well such not-so-incidental pleasures as John Rubinstein's lovely and serviceable musical score, and a cast of excellent supporting actors.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyLike other films of the 1970s, Pollack's saga combines nostalgia and cynicism in equal measure, thus pleasing both right-wing and left-wing viewers, not to speak the delight of seeing Robert Redford at his most handsome in a cowboy attire.
Kansas City Kansan - 7/10 by Steve CrumGritty, gorgeously photographed mountain man tale.
The Spectator - 6/10 by Christopher HudsonAnyone who likes looking at Robert Redford or mountain landscapes or both will be very happy.
