Based on Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer and Back to the Wild by the Christopher J. McCandless Foundation, Alexander Supertramp "follows the journey of Christopher McCandless, a twenty-something year old from a well-to-do East Coast family who rejects his upper-middle class upbringing and, seeking more than a conventional lifestyle can provide, adopts a new identity and sets out on an Odyssey across the country, ultimately headed for Alaska."
