When young Cheryl Strayed loses her beloved mother, her entire world seems to come crashing down around her. With her family members distancing themselves from each other in their mourning, she feels she has no-one left to turn to and starts taking heroin and indulging in promiscuous behaviour to comfort herself - if only temporarily. As expected, she and her husband soon divorce as her antics do not improve and she decides that she needs to find another outlet for her grief. Despite having had no previous experience, she decides to embark on a solitary journey across the Pacific Crest Trail; a 1,100 mile hike from California to Canada across brutal mountains and savagely dry desert. Has Cheryl made the biggest mistake of her life? Or will she finally be able to find peace with the world?

'Wild' is the incredible film adaptation of a true story based on the memoir 'Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail' by Cheryl Strayed. Starring Reese Witherspoon, it has been directed by Oscar nominee Jean-Marc Vallée ('Dallas Buyers Club', 'C.R.A.Z.Y.', 'The Young Victoria') and written by Nick Hornby ('About a Boy', 'An Education', 'Fever Pitch'). It is due to hit cinemas in the UK on January 23rd 2015.
