Based on Jack London’s legendary adventure, The Call of the Wild is a cinematic experience of a lifetime. Twentieth Century Fox vividly brings to the screen the story of a Buck, a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life is turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Canadian Yukon during the Gold Rush of the 1890s.
As the newest rookie on a mail delivery, dogsled team, and later its leader, Buck has embarked on a coming-of-age journey that will lead him to discover his true place in the world and become his own master.
Using cutting-edge visual effects and animation technology to render the animals in the film as fully photorealistic and emotionally authentic characters, The Call of the Wild is a hybrid of live action and animated filmmaking.
Harrison Ford, one of the screen’s acclaimed leading men, heads a cast that includes Omar Sy (The Intouchables), Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Bradley Whitford (Get Out). Chris Sanders (How to Train Your Dragon) directs from a screenplay by Michael Green (Murder on the Orient Express).
