Screenplay data
After environmentalist Eric Desmond discovers illegal traps and confronts trappers led by Ben Corbett, Corbett's crew murders sportsmen, leading Marshal Sam Wilder to arrest Corbett before being killed during a rescue attempt by Corbett's brother, Viking Bob. Eric then embarks on a perilous journey through the wilderness to transport Corbett to authorities, while his girlfriend Anne Marie fends off the remaining trappers who destroy their home and pursue her. Eric and Corbett are ambushed in town by LeMalle and Mitchell, resulting in a final confrontation at the airstrip where Mitchell is killed and LeMalle is defeated. Eric and Anne Marie load a wounded Corbett onto a plane, but he escapes into the forest after landing at a pumping station, leaving them to reflect on their ordeal as they fly away.

Earl Kenai, Arthur NeffGet this straight: I'm the District Supervisor. Whatever you do reflects on me. It wasn't my idea to bring you people up here, but I'm stuck with you. You are absolutely not to involve yourself in any local disputes. Whichever side you take, you alienate the other. Mr. Corbett is quite well-known in this region. People admire him --
You want to fool yourself about that bullshit job, fine. Damn shame you have to drag your girlfriend along. You think a woman like that will be happy making moose stew for a man making your salary? Look, I'll give you five grand. Take the money and go home where you both belong.
His old roaming area's all private reserve now. Normally, long as he stays civil in my jurisdiction, I let him be. Won't be able to take him by my lonesome, though. Nobody in town'll lift a finger on this.
Before white men came, my people lived in sod houses underground and laid our dead on the tundra. Now we live above ground and bury our dead, and we haven't been warm since.
Snowplow, generator, TV dish... hell, we get the goddamn Playboy Channel! Here, this is for you. Warm to forty below. Remember, anything you want, you ask Arthur Neff.
According to tribal law, hunters passing through the land of another tribe can only take game to survive. They can eat the meat, but have to surrender the hides.
If that was all, fine. But carving him up, stranding the others, that's too fucking much. Is everything that walks, crawls, flies or swims fair game to you?
I still can't believe I'm being financed by an oil company. Especially when they get a look at these pictures. Technology in the wilderness; not too pretty.
