1. Hatchet
A 13-year-old boy survives a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness and is left to fend for himself with only a hatchet his mother gave him as a present. Over the course of several months, he learns to hunt, fish, and forage for food while also dealing with wild animals, harsh weather, and loneliness. Through a series of flashbacks, he also confronts painful memories from his past, and ultimately, he emerges stronger and more mature from his ordeal.
