Almost Heroes

In this historical adventure, two bumbling explorers embark on a quixotic journey through the rugged terrain of the Pacific Northwest in the year 1804. Undeterred by their lack of experience or resources, they set out on a quest to reach the Pacific Ocean ahead of the renowned Lewis and Clark expedition. The film artfully captures the raw beauty of the wilderness while simultaneously highlighting the gritty realities and harsh challenges faced by these ill-prepared adventurers. Their unwavering determination is juxtaposed against the daunting obstacles they encounter, from treacherous rivers to impenetrable forests. As the journey progresses, the audience is drawn into a tale of camaraderie, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of exploration. Despite their apparent doom, the protagonists' efforts offer an intriguing counterpoint to the more familiar story of Lewis and Clark's triumphant achievement.
