Into the Grizzly Maze Official Trailer #1 (2015)
Into the Grizzly Maze (2015), directed by David Hackl, is a tense survival thriller set in the heart of Alaska’s untamed wilderness. The film combines suspense, action, and a touch of environmentalism as it pits humans against a terrifying apex predator: a monstrous grizzly bear.
Plot Overview
Two estranged brothers, Beckett (James Marsden) and Rowan (Thomas Jane), reunite in their Alaskan hometown, each grappling with their past. Beckett, a former criminal, seeks redemption, while Rowan, now a local sheriff, is haunted by memories of their late father and their shared childhood experiences in the woods.
Their lives take a dangerous turn when a rogue grizzly bear begins terrorizing the local population, killing indiscriminately. The brothers, along with Rowan’s partner (Piper Perabo) and a grizzled tracker (Billy Bob Thornton), set out into the dense forest maze to confront the beast.
As they navigate the perilous terrain, the group faces not only the deadly bear but also their own personal demons. The “Grizzly Maze” becomes a metaphorical battleground where nature and human conflict collide.
