Действие развивается на Диком Западе в ХIX веке. Уроженец Филадельфии Хью Гласс попадает в плен к индейцам, откуда бежит только через год. Он отправляется в Сент-Луис, где присоединяется к капитану Эндрю Генри и отбивается от атак индейцев возле истоков реки Миссури. Пережив нападения неприятеля, Хью становится жертвой медведя гризли. Гласс серьезно и, похоже, смертельно ранен. Капитан Генри отказывается бросать соратника и везет его с собой к реке Гранд-Ривер. Однако особенности ландшафта не позволяют вернуть умирающего Хью к цивилизации. Генри приказывает двум наемникам остаться с раненым и похоронить его. Но те бросают его, завидев враждебно настроенных индейцев. Гласс чудом остается жив, приходит в себя и отправляется мстить покинувшим его обидчикам.
