A film adaptation of the book was released in September 2007, directed by Sean Penn and starring Emile Hirsch as Christopher McCandless. The Call of the Wild was also released in 2007, which was a documentary by Ron Lamothe. A survival show set in Alaska, named Out of the Wild, has also been inspired by Chris’s story.
