Based on a True StoryVerified purchase
I came across this film through my Lifetime Movie Club subscription. I've seen Megan Follows before in Reign and love her as an actress so I decided to give this movie a shot. It's an amazing story, and the cast did a wonderful job telling it. I never thought I would have a shred of pity for anyone who would kidnap another person(especially a child) but they shine a light on the diminished mental capacity and loneliness. He was truly alone and if someone had tried to help him or reached out to him to at least offer friendship or kindness I think he would have taken a different path in life.

Based upon the fictional novel HatchetDecent little movie. Oh and by the way, a previous reviewer titled their review “based on a true story”. Not sure how they got that mistaken impression, but be assured this movie is based upon a fictional book called Hatchet, written for young adults—which happens to have won a Newbery (sp?) Award in the mid 80s.

Cover photo
The cover shown is for a movie with the same title, "A Cry in the Wild: The taking of Peggy Ann" which starred Megan Fallows as Peggy Ann Bradnick and David Morse as "Bicycle Pete"-William Diller Holenbaugh. Both are pictured on the cover shown. Interestingly, your page for the TV movie "A Cry in the Wild: The taking of Peggy Ann" does not have a picture on it. It is based on a real-life incident in Pennsylvania in 1963.
"A Cry in the Wild" that this pages is about is an adaptation of Gary Paulsen's "Hatchet"; the fictional account of a teenager lost in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash.
