## Synopsis

The Edge is a 1997 survival thriller film directed by Lee Tamahori, written by David Mamet, and starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. The plot follows wealthy businessman Charles Morse (Hopkins), photographer Bob Green (Baldwin), and assistant Stephen, who must trek through the elements and try to survive after their plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, all while being hunted by a large Kodiak bear and the men's fraying friendships. Bart the Bear, a trained Kodiak bear known for appearances in several Hollywood films, appears in the film as the bloodthirsty Kodiak, in one of his last film roles.
