Death Hunt (1981)

Death Hunt is a gritty action thriller set in the harsh Canadian wilderness, loosely based on true events. Directed by Peter R. Hunt, the film stars Charles Bronson as Albert Johnson, a lone trapper who becomes the target of a relentless manhunt led by Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Sgt. Edgar Millen, played by Lee Marvin. When Johnson rescues a dog from a brutal dogfight, he unknowingly sparks a violent conflict with a group of dangerous men, leading to a full-scale pursuit through the icy Yukon mountains.

What follows is an intense game of survival, with Johnson using his wits and combat skills to evade capture while Millen, despite his duty, begins to question the morality of the hunt. Packed with action, tension, and themes of justice and survival, Death Hunt delivers an edge-of-your-seat adventure with a strong emotional core.
