In April 1992, Christopher McCandless arrived in a remote area called Hailey, north of Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Noticing McCandless's lack of preparation, the man who gave him a ride gave him a rubber boot.
McCandless sets up camp in an abandoned city bus which he calls the "Magic Bus".
He is satisfied with the solitude, the beauty of nature, and the thrill of living off the land. He hunts with a .22 pistol, reads books, and keeps a diary as he prepares for his new life in the wilderness.

He becomes disillusioned with modern society after discovering that he and his sister Karen were born out of wedlock.
McCandless destroys his credit cards and identity, donates his savings to Oxfam and sets off on a cross-country trip in his Datsun 210 to experience life in the wilderness.
He doesn't tell his parents or Karen what he's doing or where he's going, and he doesn't contact them after he's gone.
This makes his parents increasingly worried.

He burned the rest of his money, and took the name "Alexander Supertramp." In Northern California, McCandless meets hippie couple Jan and Rene.

In September, McCandless arrived in Carthage, South Dakota, working for a contract harvesting company owned by Wayne Westerberg.
He leaves after Westerberg is arrested for satellite piracy.
McCandless kayaks down the Colorado River, and despite being told by park rangers that he may not do so without a license, he ignores their warnings and goes downriver into Mexico.
His kayak was lost in a dust storm, and he returned to the United States on foot.
Unable to ride, he hops on freight trains to Los Angeles.
Shortly after his arrival, he began to feel "corrupted" by modern civilization and left. He was forced to resume hiking when the railway police caught and beat him.

. He also meets Tracy Tatro, a teenage girl who shows interest in him, but he rejects her because she is underage.
After vacation, McCandless continues to head to Alaska.
One month later, while camping near Salton City, McCandless met Ron Franz, a retired widower who had lost his family in a car accident while serving in the United States Army. He lives a secluded life in a workshop as a leather worker.
Franz taught McCandless leatherwork, which resulted in the creation of a belt detailing his travels.
After two months with Franz, McCandless decided to leave for Alaska.
Franz gives McCandless old camping and travel equipment, as well as an offer to adopt him as a grandson.
McCandless told him they should discuss the matter after he returned from Alaska
Four months later, on the abandoned bus, McCandless's life becomes more difficult, and he makes many bad decisions.
He tries to live off the land. He hunts a large deer with his rifle, but he cannot preserve the meat and it spoils within days.
As his supplies dwindled, he realized that nature could be cruel.
McCandless concludes that true happiness can only be found when shared with others, and seeks to return from the wilderness to his friends and family.
However, he finds that the river he crossed during the winter has become wide, deep, and violent due to the melting ice, and he is unable to cross.
Defeated, he returns to the bus.
In an act of desperation, McCandless collects roots and plants and eats them.
He confuses similar plants, eats a poisonous plant, and becomes ill as a result. Slowly dying, he continues to document his process of self-realization, imagining what it would have been like if he had been able to return to his family.
He writes a farewell letter to the world and crawls into his sleeping bag to die.
Two weeks later, moose hunters found his body. Shortly thereafter, Karen returned to Virginia with her brother's ashes in her backpack
The Emory University graduation scenes in the film were filmed in late 2006 on the front lawn of Reed College. Some graduation scenes were also filmed during Emory University's actual commencement ceremony on May 15, 2006.
The Alaska scenes depicting the area surrounding the abandoned bus on Stampede Road were filmed 50 miles (80 km) south of where McCandless actually died, in the small town of Cantwell .
Filming on the actual bus was a long way from the technical requirements of shooting the film. The replica bus used in the movie is now a tourist attraction at a restaurant in Hailey, Alaska.
Brian Dierker, who plays a major supporting role in the film as Rennie, had no previous acting experience and entered the production to act as a guide for the rafting scenes.
