    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Robert Redford and Nick Nolte were in their seventies when this movie was shot. The real Bill Bryson and Stephen Katz were forty-four the summer they attempted to hike the Appalachian Trail.
    • Goofs
      The map shown in the shelter is very inaccurate. It does not show the Appalachian Trail passing through West Virginia, New Jersey, or Connecticut. It also reverses New Hampshire and Vermont.
    • Quotes

      Bill Bryson: [At night, when a female hiker is loudly singing, in an annoying tone, at a late hour] Tomorrow morning, we get up early, before she's awake, and we get a headstart, and lose her.

      Stephen Katz: That's a good idea. Better than my idea.

      Bill Bryson: What was your idea?

      Stephen Katz: We kill her, and steal her Pop Tarts.

    Read the book, watch the film then hike the trail.
    Caught a screening of this movie in Salt Lake City. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy put it on. What a fun movie, Nolte is great in it!! I was quite surprised on how funny he was. Redford and Nolte make a good team. About time a Bryson book got up on the big screen. I wonder how much of an increase in foot traffic there will be on the AT after this movie gets released. I'm sure next summer will be quite a bit busier. If a movie makes me want to go to the location/s it takes place I count that as a great movie. If you are a fan of the book, actors, hiking, nature or have hiked the AT you should enjoy this one. Well worth the visit to the cinema.
