This movie is based on a book by the same name written by Bill Bryson, who at 44 years old decides to hike the Appalachian Trail (2,190 miles long). Robert Redford, who is in his late 70s, plays Bryson in the film. He is accompanied by a long-lost friend, Stephen Katz (played by Nick Nolte); the two traveled Europe together when they were in their early 20s. They lost touch soon after their European trip and through some fluke they find themselves reunited to hike together.
Even though it seems a stretch for Redford to be playing a man in his 40s, such a thing can be overlooked because of the repartees between Bryson and Katz, beautiful photography, and other interesting characters — notably one of the hikers they meet along the trail. Before I watched the movie, I thought it would be boring because it’s just about two people walking and talking, but it isn’t like that at all. The story line’s themes – relationships and one’s purpose in life – make for some funny scenes, notable truths, and fine dialogue.

People mistake me for Robert Redford all the time. It gets annoying.

They must have used a lot of makeup to have him look in his 40s! It does sound like a good movie though, thanks. 🙂

It really is a good movie. I didn’t watch if for the longest time because I thought how can someone that old play someone in their mid-40s. But, I got over it because he didn’t look bad and if I didn’t know about the book, then who would have cared? Really good and funny, especially Nick Nolte.
