Miles off course, Brian must wait out the search for him while surviving in the harsh environment.

A bear, porcupine, moose and even tornado threaten to hinder Brian's attempt at survival; however, he manages to make a shelter for himself, weapons, and finally a fire. With these tools, Brian must hunt and gather food and water in order to stay alive while he waits for a rescue plane to find him. Hatchet is the story of one boy's survival and the journey he takes to becoming a man.
