The Edge is a remake of the 1997 film.
Directed By: Clint Eastwood
==Plot==
Charles Morse (Ralph Fiennes), a billionaire; Robert "Bob" Green (Matt Bomer), a photographer; and Stephen (Anthony Mackie), Bob's assistant; arrive in a remote Alaskan village with Charles' wife, Mickey (Alice Eve), a model. Styles (Nick Nolte), the proprietor of the lodge, warns everyone about not leaving uncovered food that will attract bears. Charles is surprised with a birthday party where Mickey gives him an engraved pocket watch and Bob gives a hunting knife. Another of Charles's valued possessions is a book with instruction and advice for surviving in the wild. During key moments early on, he is often shown losing the thread of conversations because he is so absorbed in his reading.
During a photo shoot, Charles observes Bob and Mickey kissing platonically. The three men fly to a location to find a local Alaskan man (Wes Studi), for photographs. A note on his door indicates he is miles away bear hunting. They fly north where the man is supposed to be hunting. During the flight, Charles asks Bob how he is planning to kill him. Before Bob can answer, the plane strikes a flock of birds and nose-dives into a lake, killing the pilot. Charles, Bob, and Stephen barely reach shore. Lost in the crash is Charles's survival book.
After building a fire and spending the night on the lake shore, the three men attempt to hike the next day to a more open area where they will more likely be spotted and rescued. But they soon discover that they are not alone here. An enormous Kodiak bear is prowling the open woodland, and has detected their presence in its territory. While crossing a makeshift bridge trying to elude the bear, Charles falls into the rapids. Bob saves him, leaving Charles doubting his earlier suspicions about Bob's intentions. The group becomes lost and Stephen wounds his leg. That night, the bear attacks their camp, killing Stephen and chasing the other two men away.
The two remaining men see a rescue helicopter in the distance. They attempt to flag it down, but the pilot does not see them, forcing them to find their own way back to civilization.
The bear eventually finds Charles and Bob again and stalks them through the wilderness. Forced to keep running and hiding from the bear, the two men are unable to rest or look for food. Charles decides that they must kill the bear, otherwise it will catch and kill them or they will starve to death. Charles uses his hunting knife to sharpen the ends of long branches to make spears. The next day, the bear attacks them again. They manage to lure it into a river. The bear attacks Bob but Charles distracts it, luring it away. Charles repeatedly stabs at the bear with his spear, but the bear's thick hide and fat render his strikes ineffective. As the bear corners him against a pile of logs at the river's edge, Charles positions his spear at a partially upward angle with the other end wedged between rocks to stabilize it. The bear lunges, and as it crashes down onto Charles, its own weight fatally impales itself on Charles' spear. The two men now have their first food source since they were stranded: bear meat.
Following the river south, the men find an empty cabin. Charles notices a deadfall, while Bob rushes into the cabin. They find supplies, including a canoe, rifle, and ammunition. While Bob is checking if the canoe is usable, Charles finds a receipt in his pocket to use as tinder. The receipt contains information confirming his suspicions about his wife's infidelities with Bob.
When Bob returns to the cabin, he reveals that he plans to kill Charles for his wife. He orders Charles outside, but before he is able to kill him, Bob falls into the deadfall, despite Charles's attempt to warn him. Bob is badly injured and begs Charles for his help. Charles removes Bob from the pit and tends to his wounds. They go downriver in the canoe together.
Charles makes camp with a fire to keep Bob warm. Bob apologizes for betraying Charles and says Mickey was unaware he intended to murder him. A helicopter appears and Charles successfully attracts its attention, but Bob dies before the helicopter lands.
Charles is brought back to the lodge and reveals to his wife that he is aware of her betrayal by handing her Bob's watch. He states to the press that the other men died, "saving my life."
