The Call of the Wild (2020)
Synopsis
Synopsis
The Call of the Wild is a vibrant story of Buck, a
big and kindhearted dog, a crossbreed between a St. Bernard and a
Scotch Collie, whose carefree life of leisure was suddenly upset when he
was stolen from his home in Santa Clara County, California and deported
up north, to be sold in Skagway, Alaska, and taken further north, to
Dawson City, Yukon, during the late 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when
strong sled dogs were in high demand. As a newcomer to the dog team
delivery service - and not before long their front-runner - Buck, a dog
like no other, who had been spoiled, and who had suffered, but he could
not be broken, is having the time of his life. Forced to fight to
survive, eventually taken by his last owner, John Thornton, to proximity
of the Arctic Circle, somewhere between Yukon and Alaska, he
progressively depends on his primal instincts, sheds the comforts of
civilization and responds to "the call of the wild", as master of his
own.
