Death Hunt (1981) is a thrilling Western action film directed by Peter Hunt, set in the rugged wilderness of Canada’s Yukon Territory during the 1930s. The story centers around a conflict between a trapper named Albert Johnson (Charles Bronson) and a group of lawmen led by Sheriff Johnny Kuehn (Lee Marvin). Johnson, a reclusive man with a mysterious past, is wrongly accused of killing a mountie, and the lawmen set out to capture him.

However, as they track him through the harsh, unforgiving terrain, they realize that Johnson is not only a skilled survivor but also a man determined to fight back.

The film explores themes of justice, survival, and the clash between man and nature, with both Bronson and Marvin delivering strong, gritty performances. As the lawmen get closer to their target, the tension rises, leading to a final, explosive showdown in the wild. Death Hunt offers a mix of action, suspense, and dramatic elements typical of Bronson’s films, along with the harsh beauty of the Northern wilderness that serves as both a setting and a character in itself.
