After they first worked together on the 1966 film This Property Is Condemned, director Sydney Pollack and Robert Redford continued their long-lasting collaboration with this 1972 drama set during the mid-1800s, about one man's rugged effort to shed the burden of civilization and learn to survive in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Will Geer is perfectly cast as the seasoned trapper who teaches Jeremiah Johnson (Redford) how to survive against harsh winters, close encounters with grizzly bears, and hostile Crow Indians. In the course of his adventure, Johnson marries the daughter of a Flathead Indian chief, forms a makeshift family, and ultimately assumes a mythic place in Rocky Mountain folklore. Shot entirely on location in Utah, the film boasts an abundance of breathtaking widescreen scenery, and the story (despite a PG rating) doesn't flinch from the brutality of the wilderness. --Jeff Shannon

One of the all time best westerns ever made with Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster at their best.

The Rocky Mountains. They're beautiful. Yet there are these little drawbacks: like blizzards; life-threatening cold; wild critters; haunting isolation. And two centuries ago, there were several Indian tribes who didn't look all too kindly on their ancient lands being infiltrated by trappers, traders, and eventually settlers. So it's not exactly Paradise, yet still appealing to a young man named Jeremiah Johnson, who is fed up with 'civilization' (for unknown reasons) and seeks a solitary existence up in the mountains. Nice premise for a story--even a film; enter JEREMIAH JOHNSON.
This film is the wonderful collaboration between Robert Redford and the late, great director Sydney Pollack. Redford furnishes character--from a naive 'pilgrim' who almost perishes in the harsh wilderness, to a hardened killer--Pollack furnishes setting and unbelievably gorgeous vistas. This is a beautiful film--yet like the Rockies themselves it is also brutal and hard. I also enjoyed several of the other characters, and their interactions with Redford's character; Will Geer (better known as Grandpa in the TV series 'The Waltons') and Stefan Gierasch (who we get to meet buried up to his mustaches in the dirt) particularly come to mind. These actors lend rich authenticity to the mountain man persona, and they are darn fun to watch.
And like the Rockies, this movie also has some drawbacks. The story, at times, flowed unevenly--almost awkwardly--and much of the music was just plain hokey. Yet these slight flaws are not enough to take away from JEREMIAH JOHNSON--a grand tale of a mountain man turning into a legend.

 Pollack turned Johnson into something bordering on a spiritual experience... December 14, 2008

Filmed in the snow-covered vastness of the Utah Rocky Mountains, Robert Redford plays well a deserter from the Mexican War who wages a bitter struggle against the elements and Indians in order to lead a life of solitude...
He heads into the mountains, only to find that there is the wind that never seems to stop... Sometimes he swears he is going insane while the storms that he has never seen screech booming with their thunder... Around him, snow squalls that kill everything that is unprepared... Jeremiah's first winter proves almost fatal because of his inexperience in coping with the harsh Rockies... Fortunately, he meets a real mountain man seasoned to the ways of the wild... Bear Claw takes Johnson in and shares his knowledge with him...
Travelling the untamed wilderness, Jeremiah finds out that it is a land fit only for the savages, and he has seen what they are like... But he has seen worse when he happens upon an Indian massacre of a settler's family or upon a bald man buried to his neck in sand by Blackfeet Indians... And much worse after violating the Crow sacred burial ground while helping cavalry men find some lost settlers...
