| Summary |
This biopic portrays thrill-seeking writer Jack London and his travels in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. His adventures took him through a myriad of predicaments, including a business venture as an oyster pirate, a prospector in the Klondike, homelessness, and a stint as a war reporter. Through his adventures, London witnessed first-hand what it was truly like to be a prisoner of war at the hands of imperial Japan. Coupled with a few romantic interests, this film portrays American writer Jack London in a creative light and allows viewers to appreciate his experiences. |
